... I mean, really sublime.
I rated this film ten some time ago.
I've only now noticed the film on 5 stars and thought I'd have a look at the reviews. I read a good deal of them, and chuckled at some.
It's stated many times by reviewers that this family is 'middle class'. I think these people have a poor understanding of the class structure in Great Britain. This family is middle-upper class, possibly even higher. But then, Southern England is a bit softer centred than the North.
I can't help suspecting that the lower reviews come from viewers who'd like nothing better than a film constructed similarly to the Die Hard Trilogy.
It's mentioned many times about annoying locked-off cameras. Is it that cameras must always be on a trolley to prevent static shots. It's a cliché. The choices for static shots are excellent ones and they serve the purposes of the story perfectly.
The actors also receive some knocks. I think their abilities are being underestimated somewhat.
There are massive holes throughout the film allowing for your imagination to pull it and all possibilities to bits. It requires considerable thought this film. There's a lot left open for you to do the work - This is progressive directing. Give just enough detail for the audience to ponder the hundreds of angles and possibilities.
I really can't understand the gripe. I watched this film and melted. If the truth be known I've watched, watched, watched and rewatched it. Superb piece of film making.
