Movie Reviews of FollowingMovie Review: Almost a masterpiece! Summary: 5 StarsThe first film of mastermind director, Christopher Nolan (Dark knight, memento), it's simply BRILLIANT the way he puts together this dark puzzle. The movie plays in chronological disorder to make you feel disoriented like the protagonist (jeremy theobald), who doesn't know what's really happening around him. It got a lot of twists, and just when you think you know what's happening....you're WRONG!!!. Like every debut film from a director, it got it's little flaws, but is compensated by its brutal final act!!.
So this is a film for the ones who love noir movies and for the ones who love to be dared and surprise by a film!!
- HIGHLY RECOMMENDED 5/5
Summary of FollowingAn unemployed aspiring "writer" Bill (Jeremy Theobald) has a peculiar hobby, shadowing strangers at random in the streets of London. When Cobb (Alex Haw), a man Bill has been following, catches him in the act, Bill is drawn into Cobb's world of breaking into flats and prying into the personal lives of their victims. In Bob, Bill finds a strange companion - part mentor, part confessor and part evil twin. With an ingenious structure that involves flash forwards and doubling back, the film tests our knowledge and understanding just as the protagonist is being duped into an elaborate triple-cross. "Following" heralded Christopher Nolan as a promising new talent whose promise was amply confirmed with "Memento." Creepy intimacy, plenty of suspense, and a few surprises enliven this black-and-white treat from the director of Memento. Bill is a struggling writer who fills his time and mind by following random strangers he sees on the street. After breaking his own rule ("never follow the same person twice") he becomes fascinated by Cobb, a voyeur who takes things one step further--actually breaking into people's homes to sift through their things. As you might expect, the relationship soon becomes unhealthy. Writer-director Christopher Nolan already reveals a sure hand in this early neo-noir work. Like Memento, Following toys with timelines, jumping back and forth and carefully dropping bits of information exactly when they're needed. Short and sharp, Following features an intriguing plot line and fine, understated performances by the entire cast. Don't miss it. --Ali Davis
