i must have seen a different film!!
Yo, there's no way for me to review this film without saying, take your *insert ethnicity + "ass" here* to see this film,like now. You have to see it in order to know what you're really messing with.
a film so unique, intoxicating and bizarre that it not only demands another viewing, but is also forgivable as a satirical comedy where the jokes eventually take the back seat.
A terrific literary drama and character piece that shows how the process of creating art can be seen differently by those doing it and those looking at it from the outside.
Well what the Critics watched is beyond me..this Drama really hit home leaving lasting effects, I felt quite sad at the end..and that last song 'in the room' which you can't download anywherd, is the annoying part as it's fantastic.. The actors were perfect and great story line..and j agree with the other review I would imagine an affair to be like this. Not stopped thinking about it and watched it 3 times now..that should give you a clue how good it is..I just wish you could get that last song gutted
Lots of twists and turns in this cleverly constructed story about how complicated we can make our lives and relationships. The casting is outstanding with solid and believable performances. A rather strange ending which some might think is going to destine Cillian Murphy's character to the rubbish tip of life. Watch it !!
It was Cillian Murphy that attracted me to watch this movie. And I got so much more. Solid story with a presentation of moral dilemmas that have a lasting effect - both in thought and discussions. What would you do when impossible situations present themselves as attractive temptations? Cillian Murphy and Catherine Walker carry the movie, with great moments of Andrew Scott and Eva Birthistle. Solid hour and 3/4 of good acting. Most probably for the deeper thinkers, as this is not a light romance. I loved the ending and the outcome and the statement it makes. Counter-intuitive, I would say. Watch it to understand.
Treats well the topic of middle-class malaise and ennui, the film deftly shifts the audience's sympathy multiple times throughout. Writer/director Mark O'Rowe misses a great opportunity for a really powerful dénouement, however, letting the narrative drag on for 10 minutes too long. Still though, it's well acted, and extremely realistic, attaining an almost documentarian objectivity at times. Well worth checking out. 7/10
