Excellent stuff!
I got confused a little at first then it all clicked into place very quickly. A dark compelling film with a sad but clever twist at the end. I love the heart in this film. The love story between Charlie and Chris is so sweet and all that stems from that and then the urban legends that go along with it, both told and seen, makes this a multi layered and intriguing film. I cried when I first watched it then cried when I watched it again... so if you cry at films, get the tissues at the ready!!! br / br /Charlie as the lead character is a complex but interesting character. Dan Futterman plays him brilliantly as a bloke pushed to the edge, but still with a heart. The supporting cast are excellent, especially Dean who I just wanted to slap and Alan Cummings is a real treat. br / br /At the end I was all nooooo (and crying!) but this is such a good film I had to watch again and still I was all nooo and crying... but then that's just me! I love the sweetness of Charlie's and Chris's relationship which makes the ending ten times sadder. I like to think though that the very last scene was Charlie finding some peace. br / br /A brilliant dark film, which for the first ten minutes seemed a little slow but then you kind of get pulled in. It's one of those films that through it you think, Is he doing this for that reason? or for this reason? Which keeps you intrigued. As you most probably can tell, loved this film and it's well worth watching. Then watching again to see how it all fits really well together. br / br /***Don't read next bit if don't want spoilers.*** br / br / br /I just wanted to add that this is a really good insight into the mind of someone suffering grief and lose. An overall 'good guy' who is so traumatised, revenge eats away at him, but in the end, his 'good guy' nature wins through. This was good to see as it makes it more human, more real. You see how messed up he is from what happened, but in the end he can't do what he really wanted to do as it's just not in his nature. As I said above Dan Futterman plays this brilliantly, one minute seeming quite scarey and the next so sweet. I felt I needed to add this even though a bit of a spoiler as it was done so well. br / br /
