I came out of this film just shaking. It was so moving. It is a bit like Morvern Callar and you can tell its made by a young director because it takes so many risks. The film is a bit slow at the beginning but then it gathers pace and it is so frightening at the end that anything could happen. The young actor Jai Koutrae plays a man who is very disturbed under the calm exterior. It is a difficult role but he gives an amazing performance and is able to transform between time periods seemlessly. He is really looking like the next big thing because of his degree of subtle transformation that he is able to make. The scrrenplay is unusual because it is a film that is light on dialogue but there is plenty of action. However I think the film will shock a lot of people who go and see it. It's a brave film and some will find its themes and depiction very uncomforting.
Perfect Strangers is amazing because it swaps genres constantly and therefore is unsettling because you never know in what direction it is going to go. One minute you are laughing the next you are wondering if someone is going to be killed as it turns into a thriller.
This film captures the true struggle with identity that is ongoing in our teenage years. It is really moving and it feels strangely like a documentary-not contrived but very real. It is very interesting and unsettling
