Review of Tony (2010) by Phil N — 11 Jan 2010
Gerard Johnson expands his own short film in this micro-budgeted feature about a serial killer in London. Reminiscent of The Wrestler in its documentary feel, itâ??s a revealing portrait that evokes both sympathy and revulsion for Tonyâ??s character as he goes about his daily life, ostracized from society and looking for human contact.
Not overly explicit yet at times uncomfortable to watch, itâ??s a gripping film thanks to Peter Ferdinandoâ??s terrific performance in the title role. Some great shots of the city and a features a haunting score courtesy of The The, aka Gerardâ??s brother Matt Johnson.
