Review of Dom Hemingway (2013) by Al S — 12 Aug 2014
An off-the wall instant classic. Movies don't get more enjoyable than this. One of the best British comedies I have seen in years. Grade A stuff. A stylish, hilarious and utterly original caper loaded with big laughs and surprising amount of heart.
A flat-out funny good time that just does not let up. Director, Richard Shepard dazzles us once again with his beautiful style of direction and outrageous off-beat characters. It's sensational fun.
Jude Law has never been better, he gives one of the best, boldest, funniest and most brilliant performances of his career. Law explodes his charisma, humor and heart, his character does things so absurd and ridiculous but at that moment you are still just routing for him because he is a loveable character who's dialogue is so gorgeous and refreshingly unique.
Richard E. Grant is excellent, he gives a fun and terrific performance. Grant and Law have wicked chemistry together. Emilia Clarke is wonderful. A brash and riveting black comedy that has a great redeeming heart.
Its definitely one of the most enjoyable surprises of 2014. A non-stop party of madness, crime, redemption, music and of course great performances from its cast.
