Review of Peacock (2010) by Jonathan A — 05 Jul 2010
A Psycho-esque drama set in a small Nebraska town in the 70s. Apparently this film had a very limited theatrical release; I certainly had never heard of it. There are some surprising actors here, including Bill Pullman, Ellen Page, and Susan Sarandon, but Cillian Murphy steals the show as John and Emma.
I really liked it that John doesn't seem to know he's also Emma, but loved it that Emma comes to realize what's really going on and getting a sort of crazy grip on the whole situation. And if you're like me, you're going to spend most of the movie sitting on the edge of your seat, waiting for John or Emma to open a door and reveal the corpse of John's mother.
Oh, and look for the crazy clown. I just know it's all because of the crazy clown! Well worth watching -- there are some subtle surprises here.
