Absolutely Fantastic
All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.
It's easily one of the freshest, sharpest and most enjoyable films of this year.
The tone of this movie is interesting -- the stakes are both dramatic and high, but it's balanced with a lot of fun, tongue and cheek dialogue.
I watched this on television because of the casting more than anything else - Capaldi always turns in a good performance and I have long enjoyed his work. I also have a great respect for Lawson the actor, but hadn't realised that he also directs (and to a very high standard, if this is anything to go by). However, the film has stayed in my mind long afterwards as one of the most frightening pieces of drama I've ever seen and I often find myself remembering snatches of it - for me, that's a sure sign of quality. Considering how short this film is and the limitations of its few locations, the intensity of emotion and menace conjured up by the unobtrusive directing and understated acting is nothing short of extraordinary. Yes, there are lots of unresolved strands in the story, but life itself is like that, and I found that its very open-endedness only added to my sense of unease. Highly recommended, but not for the faint-hearted!
I loved this film. I saw it about 2 years ago now, I can't actually remember but i remember seeing it on TV. Only 30 minutes long, but was excellent. I felt perhaps it could have been longer and could have had a better ending, but Ewan's character is great in this, and i would recommend it to anyone. This film is great and deserves an 8. Has anyone else seen this film? I can see that it didn't get many ratings. I thought it was amazing. I felt a little weird after watching it. I mean could you imagine if this sort of stuff could actually happen. It would be really weird and amazing at the same time. I am going to try and find this film in stores.
An intriguing plot with a real twist. Does Masie wind up in the desert of babies I wonder? I really though he was going to have the guts to go visit for himself, evil sod. I loved the motif of the origami flower which had the precision of Western mathematics and the beauty of Easter mysticism. Very like the kind of thing you see Buddha sitting in before he rises to a new dimension.Anyone interested in reading some freaky stuff on higher-dimensional mathematics could do no better than picking up a copy of Rudy Rucker's The Fourth Dimension. When you get your head round the fact that left and right handedness is purely subjective and visualising hypercubes you'll enjoy this film on a whole new level. Happy exploring.
After watching "Solid Geometry" I was left staring at the screen for a bit, stunned, it's a good idea to watch this with friends so you can discuss it.It's not so complex and intricate as something like 'Mullholland Drive', but it has a taste of that.Ewan Mcgregor fans will love it, as it has the thought provoking style of much of his work, and great directing by his uncle Denis Lawson.Definitely worth watching, even though at 30 minutes it does feel unfinished, unexpanded, almost like a taster for a bigger project, almost like a vehicle to attract funding in order to make a full feature.
