Sub-par Plot
Uhhh...What?
Plot? Here Plot! Holy crap this movie made no sense at all, I *barely* understood where they were going with it and boy was it an hour too long! The movie was dragged out with a bunch of unnecessary scenes that could have been thrown on the cutting room floor with no problems. The visual effects were gorgeous though, for a movie made in 2009 it really stepped up to the plate. The characters were half-half, some were excellent, others...well they were about as interesting as finger nail clippings. Wouldn't waste your time with this one!

Great fun
I watched this with my two sons who are 11 and 13. It’s great fun, great songs (which the 11 year old attempted to sing along to almost immediately) and a fun storyline. It may well have been more enjoyable if the 13 year old hadn’t been watching it though. He pointed out that it wasn’t very historically accurate, and he didn’t think that they had electric guitars back then. Well, despite these and more similar ‘helpful’ comments, myself and the younger son enjoyed it very much. I’m banishing the older one to his room the next time I watch any films. This is pretty standard behaviour from him ?

"Nic Roeg’s disturbing portrait of a creep (played almost too well by Art Garfunkel) investigates the desire that some men have for their women to just shut up and be their playthings. Mike Leigh’s Naked is one of the darkest, saddest, most hopeless depictions of corrupted masculinity in movies. David Thewlis manages to allow for slivers of humanity in his enraged wreck of a character, but Leigh seems to suggest that the world can only make room for these men at our own peril. The ultimate in Rainy Day Bummers, which are the movies I sometimes need to watch to find my center again."

"It’s the first of Haneke’s film I saw. When we were in film school, Sean [Durkin] called me and said, "You've got to see this film." We went to the NYU library and he first showed me two scenes: the one on the train where Juliette Binoche gets spit on and the red room scene where she gets directed off screen by Haneke. It was one of these moments where I had been waiting to see a film language that really spoke to me and this film had it, it made so much sense to me. From there I fell in love with Haneke."
