Movie Reviews

Film Journal International - 8/10 by Peter HenneThe director transcends the pitfalls of sentimentality that beleaguer so many earnest blue-collar movies these days.
Combustible Celluloid - 5/10 by Jeffrey M. AndersonFirst time director Sam Miller drenches the whole thing with excessive helicopter shots, swirling crane shots, and thundering music, ruining the whole experience.
Spirituality and Practice - 3/10 by Frederic and Mary Ann BrussatOffers a few new twists on the theme that love always changes everything and, for that reason, is both exhilarating and scary. Email This Review
User Review - 10/10 by Jim MExcellent film.... the romance plot was a little flismy, but after all.... it's only a film so reality needs to be stretched a little. I guess that if you've never worked outside in a labour intensive job, then it won't be that interesting compared with some glamourous office girl grinding away making a living in the big bad city. I can see this a message by the director.... a social message where you have a group of hard working men that can only get work on the black economy. If this film is an attempt to highlight the explotation and bring about fair change then so much the better... more people should be aware!!
User Review - 8/10 by Stuart KWonderful. An evocation of tough times, and the madness of nothing left to lose. These people took risks and had fun. Pete Postlethwaite is excellent, as are the whole cast. Be warned though, it has a reverse narrative arc - starts OK, gets better, then dives to a position worse than the start. A glimmer of hope as the pink pylon shines out over Yorkshire hills.
User Review - 8/10 by Dariusz AWatch out! Bloody lovebirds over there! Finally romance that is worth watching. Starring sorely missed Pete Postlethwaite
User Review - 6/10 by Paul DNice exploration of a relationship between two different personalities and directions in life. The theme of painting power pylons is something different as well.
User Review - 6/10 by Vivien C[font=Arial]I watched ?Among Giants? without knowing who exactly are in the movie. It came as a surprise to find out Pete Postlethwaite and Rachel Griffiths lead the film. The impression of Rachel in ?Hilary and Jack? is still vivid, since I recently watched that one for the second or third times. As for Pete, It has been a long time since I saw his credibly acclaimed ?in the name of the father?. His performance in ?Among Giants? bring back memory how good he was in ? in the name of the father?. He was not at all outshined by Daniel day-Lewis. [/font][font=Arial]They played an unlikely couple, having huge age difference between them. Yet it?s not all unlikely they would fall for each other. They both have this unique characteristic in them. There was full frontal scene of Pete which really surprised me (considering he is not really that young). Yet he played it out so naturally, I even find these coolness and sexiness in him. [/font] [font=Arial]Though some of the scenes are good, the script is kind of weak, ending totally predictable. This is the kind of movie that you see the actors, not about the story or direction. [/font]
User Review - 4/10 by Tony PA low budget British film set in Northern England, Sheffield specifically. Basically it follows a group of cash in hand painters painting electricity pylons around Sheffield. The gang are led by Pete Postlethwaite as Ray. Postlethwaite died in 2011 aged 64. This film was released in 1998 making him fifty or so. The central plot of the film revolves around a relationship between Ray and young Australian backpacker, hippy, student type Gerry played by Rachel Griffiths. I am sure Gerry could have been Ray's daughter. I'm not being agist but as the relationship develops in one scene we see them dancing around naked under the old Tinsley cooling towers. The film has some local interest to me but even in twenty years a lot of filming locations have changed or don't even exist anymore. The film develops at a slow pace and at times boredom did set in. To say it was written by Simon Beaufoy who was behind hit comedy The Full Monty, featuring a similar setting and cast members. It ain't half boring. The naked dancing scene has left me scarred!
