Overlooked and Under-appreciated
This is one of the overlooked gems of indie cinema that make you happy to find it.Our friend Hallam Foe is a Scottish youth, upset over the suicide of his mother and the ascendancy of his stepmother. After various confrontations in his home town, mostly brought on by spying on the locals, he flees to London and begins a stalker type of romance with a hotel worker who looks like his deceased mother.
The charm of this movie is in the witty dialog, Hallam’s unexpected cleverness, and his determination to confront his own issues. Even though his actions would be somewhat creepy in an older or less charming person, you can sympathize with him and hope that he somehow manages to cope with life in the big city. The film starts out kind of slow and confused but gets together about 30 minutes in and becomes clear. The ending is especially good, being just about what you would expect to happen in real life.
There is a real overtone of romance in this movie, making it a good date film, and a couple of clever sex scenes that are graphic without being explicit: there isn’t much skin on display, but what’s going on is obviously no-holds-barred humping.
Guys will like this film for Hallam’s cleverness and determination, girls will like it for the offbeat romance, and everyone will groove to it for the quirkiness. See it, you’ll be happy you did.
