Rio Hayward All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.
Ava-Grace Willis Story: It's very simple but honestly that is fine.
Celia A great movie, one of the best of this year. There was a bit of confusion at one point in the plot, but nothing serious.
Cassandra Story: It's very simple but honestly that is fine.
traevaedw I also stumbled across this film on BBC2 by accident. Why wasn't it promoted more by the Beeb? Do pull your finger out, BBC! It's not every night that a really great film comes along and it's also made in Britain too. I decided to watched this film because it was set in Wales and I'm half Welsh myself. All British films really need to be promoted more and given a better slot in the scheduling on terrestrial TV. Not everyone has cable you know!I really loved the dark humour of this movie. All the acting was superb but I was particularly struck by Paddy Considine. He's certainly someone to watch. A very edgy performance. And he's cute as well!
Vince-6 I saw HAPPY NOW on BBC2 on Saturday March 13th. I just stumbled upon it. I had never heard of it before. The fact that it was set in Wales caught my attention initially. Within minutes, I found myself totally gripped by the film. It was such a great story and was very well written and acted, by a very impressive cast. The cinematography was absolutely breathtaking. It really was a feast for the eyes. I also really enjoyed the score. It's such a shame that the film appears not to have had a UK release and also doesn't appear to be available on DVD. How can this be, when so many really lousy UK films get released each year? I thoroughly recommend this film. It really is a little-known gem.
bevkrall The dark comedy concept of this film was a plus. Some American viewers might find the Welsh/British accent is difficult to understand; however, there are some good one-liners. The movie seemed a bit rushed in places. For example the love story just happened rather suddenly. Most of the casting was good. However,the father's appearance left one wondering how he could have fathered those two girls. The detective (Ioan Gruffudd) was quite able, sensitive, and strong.The comedy along with the attractive and quirky characters could make this into a cult favorite. It's certainly worth a look.
bimal Full of plot holes, not funny, very cheap humour (sheep/welsh etc), pretty bad acting throughout. Why was this film shown as part of the NFT film festival?The audience seemed to like it, probably because it was "British".If things go this way our film industry is dead and buried.
