'Sentiment: Positive 🙂'
Not for all audiences anway and an unforgettable role for William Macy, for me the new Elisha Cook Jr Yes, William Macy makes me think about Elisha Cook Jr. I don't know why... So about this feature, it is a so terrific, moving, character analysis and so realistic too. This kind if situations hapen every day and no one talks about them. Surprisingly good from a horror film director, who will give us KING OF THE ANTS. This one, I don't know KING, is written by David Mamet, I guess this explains that. The quality of screen writing I mean. Yes, it is disturbing and very unusual to show such a character in such situations. I warn you, but be brave and try it.
'Sentiment: Neutral 😑'
I saw that movie as a Canadian premiere at Fantasia film festival and and I was fascinated. Stuart Gordon is not a legendary filmmaker without a good reason. Once again, he showed us his "savoir-faire" and his talent. David Mamet's screenplay is profound and psychologically complex. It's a kick in the ass for the American culture that must be seen, especially with the subject treated. What major studios refused to push forward, Mamet and Gordon doesn't give a sh** to show it. You don't like it, fine. But please, don't say that it's a movie to avoid. If it's the case, there is something you didn't understand... As Gordon says, William H. Macy is the Fred Astaire of acting. He's sincere and astonishing as the rest of the cast. In fact,I have no bad comments on this movie
'Sentiment: Positive 🙂'
William H. Macy is nothing short of spectacular in this film, as was every other actor that graced the screen. The performances were a real credit to both the actor's creativity and the masterful direction of Stuart Gordon. Not to mention a pretty interesting, yet, twisted script by Mamet. This is a film that very easily could've fallen apart, being an adaptation of a stage play and all, yet Stuart Gordon weaves it all together masterfully, with yet the smallest and finest of threads. Mamet is not an easy guy to do. However, the entire cast and crew associated with "Edmond" all do it masterfully.NYC Filmmaker
