User Review - 10/10 by Ahmad AGreat movie, based on a play staged in London at 2000, the three actors were great, especially Uma :-)
User Review - 8/10 by Esa KPretty good movie. Nothing interesting ever happened, just a bunch of talking and some make-out scenes. Wasn't a waste thought, because it was only an hour and 15 minutes long.
User Review - 6/10 by Ed KTelevision Film BBC2, August 2008 Addiction is an uncertain concept, but not so uncertain as the idea to be cured from it. To reach absolute resolve, desire would need to be completely eliminated; to stop being an alcoholic one cannot simply avoid drink altogether, but be able to enjoy the stuff socially without once again forming an addiction. But who wants a life without desire? This is the argument of the most interesting character in drama 'My Zinc Bed', a text full of intriguing ideas yet a focus intent on some duller personality interaction. Based on David Hare's play of the same name the film is very dialogue-heavy and boasts a small but eclectic cast, though adaptations from stage-to-screen don't always work that effectively. Paul is a poet and a journalist, a committed member of Alcoholics Anonymous, and out of money. He manages to nab an interview with recluse businessman Victor Quinn, but the smart entrepreneur quickly turns the tables and offers an unwitting Paul a job at his firm. He accepts, but is taken aback by this man who seems to know so much about him. Eventually Paul becomes acquaintanced with Victor's wife, Elsa, played by an eccentric and entertaining Uma Thurman. Soon revelations are unearthed and games set in motion, and it is always interesting to guess various character motivations and allies despite the film's repetitive nature and somewhat unnecessary narration. Elsa seems interested in Paul, but Victor comes across as a man of ruthlessness who likes to work on 'projects' to elevate his own feelings of superiority. Unfortunately the drama unfurls into a cliched love triangle far too soon. Much of the dialogue in this area of the film seems forced, and the wonderful efforts of Thurman and Paddy Considine just don't raise the quality enough. Only Jonathon Pryce, adding charisma, sincerity and ambiguity to the project ever feels truly alive with passion in his dialogue. Conclusively, 'My Zinc Bed' promises more than what it can conjure; the script is half-baked, the characters unfortunate victims to stereotypes and the ending anything but unpredictable. Nevertheless, it makes for strangely compelling viewing.
User Review - 6/10 by Fede TConfusa... No se entiende a donde apunta la historia.
User Review - 6/10 by Andrew SBased on a play, and really shows it. The dialogue is intense, lengthy, and complex, with some finely wrought character interaction. Some of the conversations are like fencing matches, with fast-moving tension that I found rather compelling. People who aren't into that kind of thing will be bored to death. The whole thing is more or less a treatise on alcoholism, and a debate on the usefulness of AA, with some pretty sharp-edged arguments. I enjoyed it, though Uma Thurman with an accent always weirds me out a little.
User Review - 6/10 by Simon Ddespite it being an interesting story the film seemed to pass without anything really happening and after the opening introduction you were led to believe that something would.
User Review - 6/10 by Perrine BAdaptation tres theatrale sur le sujet de l'addiction, ici: la drogue, l'alcool, l'amour. La maniere de demarrer est assez choc: directement on est place face au conflit entre les 2 acteurs principaux. Une mise en situation energique, dont le rythme variera tout au long de l'histoire. Avec une fin simple et lineaire.
User Review - 6/10 by Nancy W"An intellectually bracing, sociologically analytical and emotionally charged three-hander about market forces and modern love, addictions and transience, constructive and destructive urges." - Kate Bassett, The Independent "My Zinc Bed could well be Hare's worst play. (...) The play's main subject, addiction. By the end of My Zinc Bed this subject has been thoroughly discussed -- but not dramatized." - Oliver Reynolds, Times Literary Supplement
User Review - 4/10 by Bill BThe performances are alright, but I just found this BORING as all hell, basically an hour and 15 minutes of Uma Thurman and Paddy Considine looking uncomfortable and edgy. Pass, unless you're a die-hard fan of the leads.
User Review - 4/10 by Shari MDespite the great performances, something is not working in this too much theatrical adpation of a play, the rythm is not greatly made and well we miss Hare for his amazing works with The Hours and The reader.. Hum. Bust still there,s some intense memorable moments, hopefuly.
