Review of Dead Man's Shoes (2004) by Thomas E — 14 Aug 2013
I find the mix of reviews interesting for this film, and would hazard a guess that most (not all) of the lower reviews come from people who have either not spent time in Britain, do not understand it or are unable to appreciate the films wonderful subleties.
It is a glorious films, with all the group who torment Anthony's sins laid bare in a series of wonderful vignettes and side-shows, over a great soundtrack and a superb set of acting by Paddy Considine, Toby Kebbell and Gary Stretch in particular.
One of my favourite films, which shows that a well written script, good dialogue and acting can easily replace big budget to produce a superb movie. The film is at once heart-breakingly sad, funny and chilling in equal parts, and the conversation between stretch and considine outside the car is one of my all-time favourite movie scenes.
... and I have seen pretty much al the classics.
