Movie Reviews of Pure
Movie Review: Purely fantastic - pun intended
Summary: 5 Stars
I thoroughly enjoyed this movie. Firstly, Harry Eden who plays Paul carries this movie brilliantly. He's so convincing, cut with raw emotions that I found myself completely mesmerized by his performance. Molly Parker, who plays his mother, Mel, is incredible as well, and the scenes with Paul and Mel together are so compelling you forget they're just actors. David Wenham, who I swear I'd seen before but couldn't place until near the end of the movie (300, Van Helsing, Lord of the Rings), is fantastic as the drug dealer. Good to see him in a normal looking role for a change. I was surprised and happy to see Gary Lewis (Billy Elliot's Dad) playing the detective. Unfortunately I wasn't to convinced with Keira Knightley's performance. The problem is everyone gives so much emotion while Keira's character only appears to skims the surface. That might be the point, no need to drown us all in misery, but I just had a hard time connecting with her, probably because we never get to delve into her character much.
One small complaint: I really dislike films where the actor hardly looks pregnant but is really about to give birth. And when the baby arrives, heroin addicted, they're about as plump and healthy as a 1 month old. Granted, I'm sure it would have been difficult to find a scrawny looking newborn, but still... Then again, I really dislike how films can be so powerful and wonderful in everyway, but lack deserved recognition. This is one of those movies.
