The Wool Cap on DVD (2004)

FUNKYGUM from DEVON , 28/08/2005

...about a janitor of a run down apartment block, who trys to adopt a young black girl, after her mother dies from an overdose.

A very sentimental, touching movie.. along the lines of the masterpiece 'the station agent'..

William H Macy is the best, producing/writing/starring/music man of this tvesque film.

The fact hat he manages to protray so many emotions with no dialogue shows how fab he is.

This is just such a marvellous little film. If you are toying with the idea of renting it then do not hesitate.

Personally I would like to see this displace 'It's A Wonderful Life' from the Xmas schedules as not only is it infinitely more feelgood but they made this one in colour. Oh- and it stars William H Macy who is just so credible in this role (or any other really).

Having read IMDB reviews I thought this would have a bit more 'oomph' about it but it just didn't quite get off the ground. William H Macy is one of my favourite character actors and he did a sterling job here of portraying a building superintendent who is landed with a tearaway young girl to 'babysit' - but the whole film ultimately left me feeling unsatisfied. Disappointing.

The throwing together of two unlikely characters, a mute buildings caretaker and an abandoned teenage black girl throws light on just what human relationships are all about. Neither really wants to be with the other, but the film shows how they both get to respect, love and then need each other. The acting of the two main characters is splendid and the film is never mawkish, in the way that Hollywood films often can be!

Fully recommended.....
