A Single Man review by JD

What acting !
(1) of (2) members found this review helpful.
The Bafta award for acting was won 100 times over. Firth plays such a diverse range of emotions with supreme subtlety. It is a powerful drama using acting skill rather than plot to create tension. Its gayness is pretty full-on but isn't pornographic at all. The plot is pretty basic but this film is about feelings rather than story.

Interesting...but not my fav

This film is a little strange..like Colin Firth but he spent most of the film being sad. Slightly depressing and felt it dragged on a bit.

Heart warming

This is a good film. It is about love and loss. To characterise it is as "gay and lesbian" is misleading.

Very good performance from Colin Firth who plays a Gay College Professor who has lost his long term partner and has a hard time dealing with it. Well worth watching.
