This movie is the proof that the world is becoming a sick and dumb place
View MoreTells a fascinating and unsettling true story, and does so well, without pretending to have all the answers.
View MoreThe first must-see film of the year.
It's funny, it's tense, it features two great performances from two actors and the director expertly creates a web of odd tension where you actually don't know what is happening for the majority of the run time.
View MoreThe violence in this film is supposed (I presume) to be funny, but its just distasteful. Psychological studies show that people ARE influenced by violence on screen. If its portrayed in a positive/justified way then the people watching will be more likely to take violence on board as a way of solving things.We're told in the film we shouldn't judge anyone too harshly. We should. We should judge a violent bully who just beats people up because they've said something he doesn't like. And not positively.This is a caricature of violence. Any number of people have died in street violence from a single punch where they've hit their head on the ground. Its not some comedy event, where after several punches, they just have to get their breath back and rub themselves a little bit. If this was a madcap movie in the "Airplane" genre or an actual cartoon the film might have got away with it. But its neither of those.There aren't any positive likable characters in this movie. That one is just the worst. There is no-one to root for or identify with in the film. Every workplace bully, wife batterer, or abuser will love this movie - as they'll just feel validated by it. Its a movie for them, no-one else.
View MoreNot a true representation of us Brit's, I do not think, (hope!) but then I am not a Londoner. It's very quirky and has a honest feel in it's style, and some lovely shots of London, beautiful lighting, gives it this dreamy glow.Bit of a fore runner for love actually this film.Colin Firth fan's, looking for Mr Darcy fans will be disappointed, more the Fever Pitch character here probably, but he plays it brilliantly as usual.It is a really modern, deep look at relationships, which could tee of some great conversations.Also very funny in places, Stephen Fry is so funny as the therapist and Jack Dee is his usual wonderful self, although it is strange to see him sharing a stage. Definitely worth a watch this film.
View MoreLondinium is full of quips and sarcasm. Though there is something unreasonable about the plotline, such as the protagonists' unstable financial condition vs. good purchasing power, the movie does a great job of jabbing at humans' desire and reticular relationships, and at the same time, uncovering the truth about love and marriage. Londinium makes the best of the features of a superb romantic comedy!
View MoreAn excellent movie about a real group of people in London. Funny, charming. Well made. Colin Firth and Mike Binder are great together. Good comedy. Irene Jacob and Mariel Hemingway are also good and Stephen Fry the comic genuis is in this and he almost steals he movie in three quick scenes. Can't wait until it comes out in DVD.
