Movie Reviews of Following
Movie Review: Had Me Stroking My Chin...
Summary: 4 Stars
A very hypnotic piece, this British mystery/thriller is.
Ths story centers on a harmless young writer/voyeur who follows people so that he can "see where they go, where they live, what they do..." but he, "never follows the same person twice..." until one day, that is.
He is approached by one of his subjects, and lured into the realm of breaking and entering. Throw in a beautiful Marylyn Monroe look-a-like, a shady businessman, and pieces shot out of chronological order, and you have FOLLOWING.
Similar in style to MEMENTO, 21 GRAMS, AMORES PERROS, and ENGLISH PATIENT, FOLLOWING never ceased to keep me guessing right to the last second. This is a fun flick that fans of olf Hitchcock and Doyle stories will appreciate.
Great indy b&w flick!
Movie Review: A simple mans Review
Summary: 4 Stars
I sat down in anticipation to see what else the writer of memento would throw at me. I was put off at first because it was black and white, but about 3 minutes into the movie I no longer cared. The movie was amazing, plenty of twists, lots of weird things going on, and much more easy to follow that memento, which was good considering I watched it at 3am. The things discussed in the movie ("shadowing" and bordeling fetish breaking and entering) was origional, and much appreciated in a world seemingly filled with sub-standard, repetitive, regurgitated ideas. This was one of the best movies I have seen in a long time, and recomend that any one purchase it.Movie Review: Very Entertaining
Summary: 4 Stars
I got this because, like most, I really enjoyed "Momento." Like that movie, "Following" takes a nonlinear approach to narrative. Watching it may be a little frustrating at first, but, with patience, you'll soon be following what's going on (har har har). It had a great heist story, with strong, well-drawn characters, very good acting, and a lot of visual style that doesn't seem at all superfluous--unlike too many film makers working today. The extras on the DVD are pretty good, too: An alternate-angle view of the shooting script as well as an option to view the film in its chronological order.Movie Review: Another Christopher Nolan Masterpiece
Summary: 4 Stars
Following is the first full-length film directed by Christopher Nolan (Memento, Insomnia, Batman Begins). It certainly has the same feel as a Nolan movie, however, it's not quite as polished as Memento is. The film is short (only about an hour long), but its length serves as one of its strengths as you never lose interest in the story. The acting isn't exactly top-notch, but it's not really that kind of movie. Following is really one big showcase for the talent of Christopher Nolan. If you enjoyed his other work, you should defintely see this.Movie Review: great, but why not widescreen?
Summary: 4 Stars
this is an amazing film. i enjoyed it more than momento. however, i was disappointed with the format of the dvd. widescreen format is not provided. also, the bonus materials hardly feel like a bonus. i don't know if they intend to release a wide-screen version but it would greatly enhance the the film.
