Negative Positive
Title: A depressing, but otherwise brilliant film.
Review: Naked is not a pleasant experience. There is much to enjoy about it, but the mood and plot are incredibly downbeat. That being said, there is a lot to appreciate here. David Thewlis is absolutely marvelous in the lead role. He is funny and charming, but at the same time violent and alienating. A terrific anti-hero. The score is wonderful, and the other cast members are very good.The film looks and sounds quite good, which is expected from Criterion. The extras could have been a bit better, but what we get is good.Overall, however, I cannot wholly recommend Naked. Not as a blind buy. If you are already a fan, the presentation is very good. If you've never seen it, I strongly recommend renting it first.
