| This is a very annoying film. It could have been excellent but instead it is just adequate. There's a lot to like about it, the major plus being Brenda Blethyn's performance. Always a joy to watch as the woman on the edge of a nervous breakdown, she steals the show once again with her quivering bottom lip and comic timing, but we have seen a very similar performance from her in Secrets & Lies, albeit with less variation. Be careful Brenda! You're at risk of getting typecast. The biggest problems with the film relate to the script (underdeveloped, meandering, loose ends) and the two young leads whose performances are uneven, and that's being especially kind to Khan Chittenden who is no leading man. The other problem is this is formulaic in the Sundance way - family drama, quirky characters, conflict, joy, sadness and humor - not traits that are in themselves bad at all, but in this cinematic combination they come together and make it seem contrived, overly constructed and quite predictable. Is it still a decent film? Yes, if you can get past the first half hour which is very unpromising, but it's a wasted opportunity too. |

Diane and I watched this fabulous, loving film as a double today and we both loved every minute of all that we saw. We see a reasonable number of films but neither of us have see such a feeling glimpse into the lives of people such as we saw today. As a country we should be so proud of the manner in which we can deal, through film and in reality, with the more difficult parts of human existence; we seem to have a gift unlike, if I can be permitted this generalisation, other countries and their approaches to cinema with the "pieces unexamined". There seems to be a rare acceptance of the breadth of human experience and our conditions; a breadth that passes beyond mere acceptance while the ear and the eye are absently directed away from the focus of interest and here I am dealing with Tim's multiply challenged brother Mark. Mark is allowed to be an integral character in this film rather than a challenged vision in the background. The scene where the girls take him onto the ice in a Sydney rink is priceless, as well as the last scene of the film at the wedding where he and his Downs girlfriend lead the dancing; again, priceless film with scripting, directing and acting at its magical best.
Little can be added to the outstandingly sensitive portrayal of Tim's mum by Brenda Blethyn, an actor who deserves every accolade that has been given her for this portrayal that is ridden with pathos. I know, I know, already I can read viewer comments that I have not looked at yet who will damn this film for its "formulaic" script and its accompanying acting where characters are "cardboad" and not sufficiently drawn and I say Rubbish! Let us look at ourselves in situations where the actors fit perfectly into life's costume as if that costume were custom made such as this wonderful film.
Go out of your way to see this fabulous viewing experience. |
