Leave your thoughts about A Very Serious Person.
| Filmcritic.comDon WillmottA Very Serious Person is about unusual people in unusual circumstances, but that doesn't make it particularly interesting. |
| User ReviewAndrewAn extra star for this one. This movie goes underneath the surface to deal with human complexity in an honest and interesting way. We need more movies like this. |
| User Reviewmarilyn avery touching and somewhat bittersweet film.. i could sympatise with the characters and although the story is somewhat dramatic, it's still feasable. a pity the filmography wasn't very well taken but perhaps that is what added the quaint little charm to it. |
| User ReviewPrivate UI liked this film and felt it captured some of the feelings that are not generally dealt-with in films. Actually shows some shades of gray and handles the subject matter in a sensitive way. |
| User ReviewMark HCharles Busch wrote and directed this comedy drama about a male nurse who arrives to care for a terminally ill woman and forms a warm friendship with her sensitive 13 year old grandson. Poignant film can be overly precious at times, but ultimately benefits from the engaging and sincere performance of P.J. Verhoest, its young star. |
| User ReviewCindy Yeh its alright. it was interesting at the least, and the boy-grandma-nurse relationship was well developed and dramatic. |
| User ReviewBenjamin SI think I now understand why we need good looking people in movies. |
| User ReviewMatthew BThis movie was slightly boring and annoying, but I nevertheless felt for each character. The eccentric Gil got on my nerves by the fourth time he referenced Gone With the Wind (within the first twenty minutes), and the conveniently-named Jan was a tad over-the-top, but I felt bad for the two of them at the end of the movie. This is a very skippable movie, but if you happen to catch it, there are worse movies to watch. |
| User ReviewAaron BWe couldn't finish this -- the acting was stilted and awful and the dialogue was artificial. I think that the visiting male nurse Jan is eventually supposed to be like an Auntie Mame character to the little gay boy, but after 30 minutes, we still hadn't seen anything good happen, so we gave up. |
