  • Gorgeous and Dangerous

    Rated - 4.5 stars  
    By a customer from manchester , 07 Jan 2011

    [Highly rated reviewer]

    It's an honest, beautiful and romantic film, very strange to see in a British low budget film. The language is very strong and real, the world poetic, the passion and sex very real. The two leads, who are some sort of slacker/hipster outsiders are at times funny, innocent, infuriating and philosophical. It's sexy and erotic, but also gritty and real. I can't believe it's a UK set film, it's cinematic!

  • Worth the effort

    Rated - 3.0 stars

    Yes this film is graphic but not in a grubby way. I found it hard to empathise with the main character, Manchester, who just came over to me as irritatingly thick and that did spoil the enjoyment of the film for me. However, it was worth persevering with the 90 odd minutes as there were genuinely tender and erotic moments between the couple which save the film from being just a low budget would be 'Arty' film.

  • Nice soundtrack ....

    Rated - 1.0 star  
    By Sammc (38 reviews) from Preston , 27 Oct 2011
    ...i enjoyed the music. Now, as to the film - it had aspirations to be something it could never be, and thus became pretentious as we entered the so-called art world that was so impressed by Manchester's photographs. Even the choice of names for the main characters [Manchester and Noon] was pretentious, with no great, profound message at the end.

    There were hints of better films that have come out of Scandinavia but this one failed to find the same ground and lift off, as it moved steadily forward to the next shallow moment of pretentious 'message' and ultimately tedium.

    OK ... the photographs were good too.

  • Arty & Unsual

    Rated - 4.5 stars

    An arty and unusal film exploring sexuality. Yes it's grafic but it's part of the film - it wasn't over the top.

  • maybe i'm wrong but i don't care

    Rated - 5.0 stars  
    By a customer , 20 May 2011
    Beautiful, heartbreaking and brim-full of love. I loved this film. The stillness and poetry of some of the scenes made my heart swell. I don't want to sound too gushy (maybe i am- i don't care), but i think its lyricism and pottering almost aimless feel, coupled with a melting soundtrack filled me with an impossible longing. Of course, its cringe-making to watch (voyeuristically) a young good-looking couple get up to all sorts. But there was a raw truth in it and it holds up a mirror to us. We've all been there, sex and love are universal and probably the one substantial reason for finding some sort of meaning in life. Maybe i'm wrong, and just a little too drunk, but i don't care.
