Watch Sunday Bloody Sunday For Free

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.

It’s fine. It's literally the definition of a fine movie. You’ve seen it before, you know every beat and outcome before the characters even do. Only question is how much escapism you’re looking for.

what a terribly boring film. I'm sorry but this is absolutely not deserving of best picture and will be forgotten quickly. Entertaining and engaging cinema? No. Nothing performances with flat faces and mistaking silence for subtlety.

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.

I saw Sunday,BLOODY Sunday when it came out and own it in DVD format. Being born in 1949, I feel totally in touch with this story, its characters, and the superb way John Schlesinger translated it into film. I have seldom seen such a deep, adult treatment of human relationships. SBS is particularly sensitive to the smallest details of what it means to live and love in our times. The Penelope Gilliatt screenplay is so masterful in showing the many aspects of the personal universe of each character that every emotion is perfectly rendered, balancing dark and light moments in just the right way. Peter Finch, Glenda Jackson,Peggy Ashcroft and Bessie Love are a joy to watch, to say nothing of the other actors, all splendid. I treasure this film.

Well-off Jewish doctor Daniel and middle-aged divorceé Alex have two things in common... their phone-service and the deep love they both feel. For Bob, the young artist. They both realize that they are sharing him, and the situation isn't entirely to the liking of either of them. But they fear stirring the pot, as they might lose him entirely. They both clearly have difficulty with being left by him(perhaps her more than him), something the enthusiastic Elkin either doesn't understand or doesn't care about. This is a mature piece on relationships(note the immense difference between how the two generations behave towards their partner) and sexuality(and this is rather direct and unapologetic, as well as never gratuitous, in its depiction thereof). It focuses on the emotions and the attachment, and it will not appeal to everyone. There are those who will call it slow and uneventful. In reality, it is not about grand occurrences, it's about little moments, mood and character interplay. The writing is excellent. Dialog is meaningful and impeccably delivered. The acting is strong from the leads, and no one is bad. Even the children are pretty good. The music is great, if at times overbearing. This is dated, but not necessarily in a bad way; it gives us the 70's, for better or for worse. Environments of politics, family life, drugs, homosexuality are explored. The DVD comes with a trailer for this. I recommend this to anyone who finds what I describe here engaging. 7/10

The movie starts with a well, interesting scene which Dr. Daniel Hirsh examines one of his patients. Then, weird angles, unusual zooms, at least for such a movie and surprising flashbacks. The director chooses separating the movie into parts according to the days. Sunday, Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday, then back. Therefore, we wait for ''The Bloody Sunday'', we wait for the shocking day, the tragic events, but it never comes, nothing happens. Then what is the purpose of the movie? May be, just to analyze human being relationships. This is the only good side of the film. In my opinion, it tries to point out that some people use your love. You adore them, you worry about them, but they don't care about you. They only consider their interests. Sometimes, they are interested in you, usually when they reach their goals or when they are disappointed with the person who they give importance or when things go worse. When you 'wake up', those people are alarmed. In other words, they become you: you who are afraid of losing him, her. However, no more than that. What is the function of the children? Nothing. They make noise, they chatter... When the little girl's dog dies, Alex thinks deeply ??? Why this couple look after these children? By the way, this is not an entertainment movie at all, if you wonder. Lastly, the speech of Dr. Hirsh was unusual, but does not save the movie.

Beyond the obvious nonconforming romantic relationships, I cannot see that this film has much of a point. Maybe I'm just not that interested in the characters. They are boring, and their tedious lives seem dull and drab. Dr. Hirsh (Peter Finch) is stiff and starched. Alex (Glenda Jackson) at least expresses some emotion, but she is far too accepting of her dilemma. And Bob Elkin, gigolo artiste, has all the emotional depth of a slab of concrete. Why would Dr. Hirsh and Alex put up with someone like that? The plot would be stronger if Dr. Hirsh and Alex had more screen time with each other, various confabs, to rev up the story's conflict.The script places way too much emphasis on day to day routines, that contribute little or nothing to the story's bisexual, experimental theme. For example, the redundant switchboard operator scenes come across as filler. And I never did see the point of the scenes with all those children. Such story contrivances extend the film's runtime way beyond its thematic value. As a result, the story is loose and lacks focus, basically just a day-in-the-life-of saga. The film's pace is excruciatingly slow.About the best that I can say for this film is that the performances of Peter Finch and Glenda Jackson are quite good. And the film's production design is lavish.I suppose that in its day the film's theme was considered daring. But "Sunday Bloody Sunday" has not aged well. By today's standards, its theme is tame, and that makes all that perfunctory, day-to-day behavior the characters engage in, just that much more bland and boring.
