Review of Fay Grim (2007) by Jon T — 07 Jan 2008

I was so fooled by the trailer and thought this was going to be a broad spy comedy but it wasn't. I <3 that the whole film was shot through the dutch angle and the really mysterious hues that characterizes the movie.

i'd describe this movie as a serious comedy. the film starting seemingly slow but the truth is deadpan jokes are delivered right from the start- from the priest's lighting up fay's cigarettes to the fact that she was looking at a porno film (an orgy) in the principal's office.

and made props to the writers for keeping the whole dead serious delivery going on for the whole 2 hrs. but the last shot of the movie was just heartbreaking. now if only we knew what happens to fay thereafter.

not a fan of the terrorist plot though. but serviceable.
