Movie Reviews of Spider
Movie Review: Forget A BEAUTIFUL MIND...
Summary: 5 Stars
Ron Howard's gentle & ultimately manipulative A BEAUTIFUL MIND had Hollywood & award ceremonies in raptures over his sugar coated look at mental illness. My advice? Skip it!!! Buy this instead. Ralph Fiennes, Miranda Richardson, Gabriel Byrne & David Cronenberg deliver an up-close & at times, claustrophobic study of mental illness that is as close to perfection as a film with subject matter such as this can get. Nothing can prepare you for the final twist. Cronenberg spins the best web of his career with this masterful journey. Perfect! Just Perfect!!Movie Review: Cronenberg + Schizophrenia = Brilliant
Summary: 5 Stars
Cronenberg depict schizophrenia through Spider (Ralph Fiennes) with brutal honesty. In addition, the dark theme that saturates the story leads the audience through several unopened doors that reveal the true darkness behind Spider's past as he attempts to find the truth for himself. The essential question is whether some doors are better off left unopened. Spider is a truly well made film that demonstrates Cronenbergs understanding for the human psyche which leaves the audience with a terrific cinematic experience.Movie Review: This movie is what "A Beautiful Mind" was afraid to be!
Summary: 5 Stars
This movie is simply incredible! It's a perfectly acted, incredibly realistic and disturbing film about a man with a severe mental illness- which means, of course, that most of America won't be able to stomach watching it. If you thought "A Beautiful Mind" was a great movie and depicted mental illness perfectly, then you probably won't like this film. From the opening scene at a train station (that takes what seems like forever for Ralph Fiennes to get off the train) right to the ending revelation, I was riveted.Movie Review: Superb acting!
Summary: 5 Stars
This is yet another example of Fiennes' finesse. He surpasses acting and becomes the troubled protagonist in this dark movie. Hard to watch at times but compelling, it exposes the underbelly of family dysfunction, and details how wounds to the psyche rarely heal and often fester. THis is not a movie to watch with the young or the squeamish. It is also not a film found amoung video store and library catalogs so this seller's price makes trying it worthwhile. Arrived quickly, new and well packaged.
Movie Review: Great Plot,Excellent Movie
