Review of Savage Grace (2007) by Iain C — 09 Mar 2010

Woah freaking buddy, I love me some good times when it comes to dark eroticism and this film did not disappoint. There is hardly a moment that is not just dripping with awkward tension, sometimes so awkward the very screen feels possessed.

The final sex scene ranks among one of the most uncomfortable I've seen. Julianne Moore is fantastic, as freaking always (God I love that woman). I can see where a lot of criticism can be made about the film having no point, and I agree.

It's not like I'm going to be watching this film again. The characters are hopelessly amoral, there is nothing to be learned, and other than the shock value, it's not all that entertaining.

But even so, it's a film you will never, ever forget.
