Review of Choke (2008) by Barry R — 27 Nov 2011
Despite some rather harsh criticism this is a true gem of the modern American cinema. A future classic, already haunting after the first viewing, it has poignant meaning and a complexity that is sometimes masked by a deceptively easy to watch script, and funny one liner.
Don't accept the misinterpretations, see beyond the plebeian view, and realise the humanity that glows from the screen. Perhaps this film is a bit too subtle for an audience that expect their sleaze to be more graphic, and for madness to be portrayed with less sensitivity.
We are not perfect beings, and this fillm is in some ways at odds with its self, as we all are.
