A Single Man (2010)
Twas a wild day in the city, full of the rainiest rain we had had in a long time. I went and met several of my school friends, and their families. The men charcoaled the meat on the BBQ, under shelter of course while the women toiled making salads and breads, and the kids lounged about with the playstation. It was a lovely night, but because there were seven kids who needed to head to bed the evening finished early.
So a friend and I ventured to one of the little suburban movie theatres, where there are only 16 2 seater couches and watched A Single Man. Which was sweet, and beautiful, but I think over hyped. The story and visuals were good, the performances by Colin Firth, Julienne Moore and others were all spot on, it just felt all a bit vacant, with too many earnest speeches and black and white memories.
3/5 for this 1960s drama, and we loved all the lamps in the movie, but couldn't agree about living in the wood/window house.
