Movie Review: FEED is Delicious!
Summary: 5 Stars
After discovering Alex O'Loughlin on Moonlight last year I was so impressed I immediately began to collect his previous work. I bought FEED first, and it is one of the best movies I have ever seen. Alex came up with the concept of "feeders and gainers" and did months of research on the subculture. He co-created, co-wrote, co-produced and starred in the film, and his portrayal of Michael Carter showcases this Australian actor's incredible talent. His American accent is impeccable, and I have never seen an actor capable of expressing so many different emotions without ever having to say a word.
The entire cast is outstanding - Gabby Millgate plays Deirdre, Michael's "gainer". She is a comedic actress, and she and Alex play off of one another so well. One thing I love about FEED is that it is a psychological thriller, but there is so much humor in the movie as well. If you like a bit of comic relief in your dramas, FEED has plenty of it. Just listening to Michael's rants to Phillip, the cyper crime specialist (played by Patrick Thompson) who is the so-called protaganist of the film is a delight. Michael may be considered the "villian" of the story, but by the end of the movie, I was so taken with his character, I was cheering him on. If there was ever a character who would be considered an "anti-hero", Michael would be at the top of my list.
Some of my favorite parts of FEED are in the extras on the DVD - the deleted scenes, interviews with Alex and the producer, etc. I would recommend that anyone watching this DVD for the first time watch the extras first, especially the interview with Alex, where he explains how he came up with the idea of "feeders and gainers" and how he brought it to film.
The soundtrack is wonderful - I will never hear "Cherish" and "Yummy, Yummy, Yummy" again without thinking of FEED, and seeing Michael's little dance to "Itsy Bitsy Teeny Weeny Yellow Polka Dot Bikini" is worth the price of the DVD all by itself.
I am impressed by the fact that this movie was made in 28 days. It is realistic, thought provoking and highly entertaining. The Australian film industry is apparently small compared to the American industry, but in my opinion, they do amazing work. Since seeing FEED I have watched other movies that Alex made before coming to the US and other Australian films as well - they have incredible talent in all aspects of filmmaking.
After watching FEED check out the alternate ending in the extras. I would love to see it used as the opening scene for a FEED 2.
Buy FEED - you will be glad you did.
