Most helpful review The Plumber

  • OK thriller

    Rated - 3.0 stars  
    By David Ions from London , 18 Nov 2004

    [Highly rated reviewer]

    This made-for-TV thriller is not exactly Weir at his best but it's not a bad way to spend an hour and a quarter.

    An anthropologist writing a thesis at home feels threatened by the intrusive presence and bullying behaviour of a plumber who seems to spend all his time smashing up her bathroom.

    She thinks she's in danger but her husband and friends think she's got an overactive imagination.

    This is moderately entertaining but is let down by a bit of a stupid ending.

  • Oddity From An A-List Director

    Rated - 4.0 stars  
    By wikkidsmyle (438 reviews) from Newmarket , 03 Aug 2007
    This oddity - made for peanuts - just goes to show that great directors can have a little fun on the side. Having done 'Picnic At Hanging Rock' and 'The Last Wave', Weir decided to make a little 16mm film in three weeks for Australian TV. There are echoes of his other well-crafted 'student' film ('The Cars That Ate Paris'), focussing on paranoia and quirky characters. Ivar Kants is brilliant as the plumber and Judy Morris is perfectly cast as his nemesis. The ending is a bit weak, but that doesn't spoil the fun along the way. Worth watching...
