Movie Reviews of With A Friend Like Harry
Movie Review: Harry is scarry
Summary: 4 Stars
~I love psychological dramas, especially taken from this french perspective! You will keep thinking all the way through this movie "what is this guy up to?" And at the end we can see how there is many disturbed individuals out there who prey on those who are at least more normal than they are! I like the acting and the realistic dialogue between the young parents trying to deal with a life less than perfect, but ultimately theirs.
Summary of With A Friend Like Harry
It takes nearly an hour for anything unusual to happen in With a Friend Like Harry, but that first hour is oddly unsettling. German filmmaker Dominik Moll reveals the trouble with Harry (Sergi L?pez) with low-key precision, his thriller sensibility channeled from Hitchcock through Claude Chabrol, while emphasizing casual conversation in the style of Eric Rohmer. Harry's found Michel (Laurent Lucas) in a public restroom, identifying himself as an old schoolmate who remembers far too much about Michel, even though Michel has no recollection of Harry at all. But Harry's an ingratiating type, and nice enough on the surface, so Michel invites Harry and his girlfriend, Plum (Sophie Guillemin), to the summer cottage he's renovating with his wife, Claire (Mathilde Seigner), and their three young daughters. The Spanish actor L?pez (from An Affair of Love) modulates his performance so carefully that Harry's psychosis--never explained, but strangely compelling--reverberates well beyond the film's shocking conclusion. It turns out Harry's been a helpful friend after all, but that's cold comfort in a film that warns us against the kindness of strangers. --Jeff ShannonArt House & International DVD Video
