Negative Positive
Title: Second best movie I saw last year.
Review: Full disclosure: the best movie I saw last year was Mulholland Drive. That's where I'm coming from.Sexy Beast is a fantastic movie, and I'm shocked by how many of the folks in the Amazon reviews used "shallow," "predictable," and "standard" in their negative reviews. These people are NOT GETTING IT. The movie is a carefully structured, impressionistic character study, focusing on the vulnerabilities and strengths we gain when we love another person. I was blown away when I saw it. I've watched it ten times since I got the DVD, several times with the very funny, very smart commentary by Sir Ben Kinglsey and the movie's producer. Buy it. Buy it now.
