wife and myself kicked ourselves (and each other) afterwards for having blown baby-sitting money on it.
No, Firth does not give an Oscar-worthy performance: I've always felt he had an extremely limited acting range, no emotive capability. This film confirms it.
Yes, it is a movie about a gay man dealing with the loss of his lover. Some here may twitter that I went to a "gay" film but why should that be a non-starter? Is it a worse activity than slaughtering men in war or crime?
No, the problem isn't that it is a gay film but that it is a bad film about gays. Julianne Moore, another actor known for her under-acting decides to pull out the stops in this one with disastrous results. Why she felt she had to thrown her wig into the "worst English accent" competition is a mystery.
Tom Ford, the first-time director, is a super-star clothing designer. He should have stayed within his area of expertise though the ill-fitting suits in this film aren't exactly good advertising.
