Hellen I like the storyline of this show,it attract me so much
Lucybespro It is a performances centric movie
Supelice Dreadfully Boring
Sanjeev Waters A movie that not only functions as a solid scarefest but a razor-sharp satire.
daxwithans Excellent movie, although the cover, I will say, is deceiving, I suggest everybody see it. And it involves British people, how can you resist that? The movie takes place in England, and revolves around many persons and families, all going through some sort of turmoil. I can't really remember what specifically, but I do remember that in many instances it revolved around war and conflict between races. Quite a good movie, and that's all I have to say. Thank you I need 10 lines, sorry. My god, why do I need ten lines of text, I have nothing more to say, stop reading from hear on out, because the rest will be rambling. I now understand why people Go ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh because they bloody need ten lines to fill, these IMDb bastards, but not.
mahajanssen This film highlights some of the problems faced by former Yugoslav refugees trying to start a new life in Britain. There are some light hearted moments like when a Serb and a Croat who were neighbours in their former homeland fight with each other and end up next to each other in the hospital (highlighting the basis of the Yugoslav war). Some of the more common refugee problems are also highlighted (you'd have to watch to find out). There is hardly any intensity in the movie but the story is still rather well told.
George Parker "Beautiful People" spreads it's story of the effect of the Bosnian conflict on Brits and others thinly over a broad and varied cast of characters with the feel of a documentary in spite of considerable implausibility. Mostly shot in the UK sans any Hollywoodesque appointments, this film weaves several very short and loosely interconnected stories into it's sometimes harsh, sometimes humorous fabric. "Beautiful People" - which are scarce in this austere film - leaves little room for audience empathy but is replete with ironies. The film will play best with those who appreciate British cinema.
artdeco-2 This very forced attempt to fuse Robert Altman and Quentin Tarantino (who is wildly overrated himself) is neither informative nor entertaining. The character development is arbitrary and unbelievable -- especially in the final scene of the thugs and the little boy, as other reviewers have noted. Also, a couple of humorous moments aside, the film is not as funny (black humor or otherwise) as the director seems to think it is.
