Adolescence doesn't try to please or comfort you; it wants to trap you, leaving no escape. The script is ruthless and unforgiving, the performances raw and disarming, and the realism so intense it becomes deeply unsettling. Over four hours, you're caught in a world where fiction blurs with something painfully close to reality. It's scary, sharp, and damn good - a rare gem in Netflix's lineup. Saying that about a Netflix series feels strange, but this one truly earns it. If you're looking for something that stays with you long after watching, this is definitely gonna grab you. I'd like to mention Stephen Graham , who apart from playing Jamie's Dad, Eddy, he cowrites and cocreates the show, boy from that Tommy role in Snatch to star on this, his own, brilliant TV Series, has he grown as an artist!!! It happens when you keep on working with the best all the time!!! ;-P.
Brilliant film by John Michael McDonagh. With a lot of black humor. McDonagh's trademark, which I suppose his younger brother Martin, would learn, at least in part, from him. A buddy-movie, the kind you see very few. Brendan Gleeson makes a virtuous interpretation in his usual line, and his chemistry with Don Cheadle is memorable. And points, also as always, for Mark Strong, and for Liam Cunningham, who play drug dealers (the bad guys) quite notably, as well as for David Wilmot, the third and sociopathic gangster. In conclusion, a laugh-out-loud comedy that will make you have a fantastic time.
-A mother? Wow! that's a tie on a Zeppelin race!"
With these kind of lines this movie makes me crack my ass several times.
If you add this brilliant writing of the Farellys Bros. to the master performance of Jim Carrey, and quite an awesome directing (by the Farrellys as well) with some technical peakings such as the sight of the passengers faces through the windows when Irene looks through Whitey's glass-augmenter to the airplane in the sky, Jim Carrey's "slow motioned" spit to the air, on the train station or the heightened shoots of the car on the road from the sky (which makes me wonder: how'd they done it, with a crane or an helicopter?), to the genius editing and the brightness of the rest of the cast. Then you'll get what this film is: a keeper!
