Karry Best movie of this year hands down!
GamerTab That was an excellent one.
AniInterview Sorry, this movie sucks
PiraBit if their story seems completely bonkers, almost like a feverish work of fiction, you ain't heard nothing yet.
SnoopyStyle Noelle Terry (Emily Hampshire) is a desperate junkie. She hasn't seen her brother Chris Terry (Jacob Tierney) for 5 years. Chris visits her in Montréal. She demands $300 from him. Then she tells him that a man is going to pay $500 to have a threesome with them. Chris is a recovering alcoholic and starting his theology studies. Chris has sexual feelings for his sister and she is willing to push all of his buttons.This is a simple 2 person play in mainly one room. The movie tries a few things like split screens to keep it interesting. There isn't much of a plot. These are two characters clashing in more and more destructive ways. Tierney is pretty good but Hampshire is the real force. In the end, this is a movie with limited scope but Hampshire shows some power.
Violet This brilliant and under-rated film is about a brother and sister in their twenties who reunite after five years, during which time the brother stayed away from his sister, supposedly the "bad one" in the family. The sister lives a wild life, having previously used drugs and prostituted herself. The brother turns up on her door one busy night and, because of various circumstances, they find themselves in a situation in which they explore, in detail, their feelings for each other, and finally admit something neither thought they would ever be able to admit about themselves - that they are in love with each other, and always have been... Indeed, the sister makes a comment along the lines of "everyone thinks that you're such a good boy and I'm so bad, but I know the real you, Chris, and you're every bit as bad as your sister".Despite the rather harsh themes dealt with by this film, it actually becomes a beautiful, touching portrayal of an unusual and forbidden relationship, and the audience is put in a position of wanting the brother and sister to get together.I was amazed by how good this film was. Admittedly, I do love Canadian films generally, but this one really touched me in a profound and meaningful way. I give it 10/10.
nerovenus This film is wonderful and artful. many dynamic and visually interesting techniques used in filming, primarily at the beginning. as the story advances, then the techniques get more subdued, as the story itself takes over. it is inventive and creative, and not at all what one is used to. thank god that there are still some films out there which are not the basic mundane crap. it is nice to view cinema which is made for an audience with an intelligent mind. it is very close to a European film, such as Italy or Spain. the cast of two is dynamic and engaging. the film grips you the entire time, with a mild titillation. i highly recommend this film.
crash_into_me420 visually inventive, which is more than can be said about most films... incredibly sordid storyline/character dynamics however and without the aforementioned inventiveness it would probably be a bit too much to take. good collaborative acting b/w the two cast members also... 8/10 get this flick a poster image; it deserves at least that*sigh* ten lines minimum now all of a sudden ? OK then... what else can i say... this really isn't a good idea. certain people are good at being concise and five lines are all they really need. why force people to be superfluous? not a good decision on the behalf of the IMDb webmasters i'm afraid... am i there yet... ?
