Review of Black Pond (2011) by Rob L — 03 Oct 2012
Chris Langham tentatively pops his head above the parapet following his conviction for downloading illegal images and it's hard not to imagine that this movie would have garnered more attention if his name had not been so besmirched.
It's certainly better than Submarine, another movie that also adopted quirky, surreal traits but avoids that movie's more annoying moments by and large - save for Simon Amstell's performance as an overgrown adolescent psychoanalyst.
The film uses the quasi documentary style that made Langham's name and shifts between that and the present day. Swearing peppers the action in a very clever way as it usually comes when it's least expected.
