Simply Perfect
best movie i've ever seen.
It's the kind of movie you'll want to see a second time with someone who hasn't seen it yet, to remember what it was like to watch it for the first time.
This film is so real. It treats its characters with so much care and sensitivity.
I watched like like 8 years back and then now watch it again...first time i really liked the movie and music so nice...after 8 years later i find it more beautiful because i have seen life in many ways with in 8 years...the best part when Ruth said it is so strange that she cant cry even though this is her saddest time of life but in the end she cried so much when she read the later ''shake your head girl with your ponytail...take me right back '' goose bum....amazing...love it
wow i am kicking myself after buying this film.starting Daniel Craig flashbacks of a fool 2008 is about a Hollywood star who wastes life buy having sex & drugs & doing crazy things like shouting at people & getting berserk .the movie starts with Daniel Craig with some funny moments but goes into a flashback as he thinks about his past life in 70s .how he had sex with a lady younger then her & smooching girls .listening to weird music & etc. after attending his old friends funeral he goes back to his crazy life.this movie has nothing to see in it.Daniel Craig is worst at acting in this like he does in his James bond films. he was feeling bad & did it only for the money.the film tried to be an artistic but failed.my rating is 1/10. don't watch this unless you have nothing.
I must admit I really did'not expect this to turn out to be such a little gem. I was locked into it from the first 10 minutes or so. But it's a great pity the screenwriter did'not fill in a few more bits of the main characters life. I could have sat there for another 40 minutes at least. Daniel Craig has come a long way since playing the Geordie bouncer and hit-man in 'Our friends in the North' a part which he played so convincingly at the time, I did'not think he'd ever be able to move on. Typecasting is so rife in TV. Realistically Sad in parts, and not the screeching OTT theatricals that you usually get from the Media.
Joe Scot is a fading actor, spending his days and nights drinking heavily and taking even heavier drugs. He is a broken man, all on his lonesome.But the untimely death of an old friend revives old feelings and demons Joe Scot had long forgotten.The film is slow to begin with...Actually it has an awful opening with a tired Daniel Craig moaning and drinking away his day....It's definitely a terrible opening, however once we delve into Joe's past, we see the young boy he once was...the girl he fell in love with, and the woman he made love too, and the tragic death he caused. It is then that the film takes shape and we, witness a broken Joe Scot return home to face those old demons he had once run away from.....
