5.0 out of 5 stars Brilliant, disturbing, original... Beautiful!, November 4, 2005

This review is from: Buddy Boy (DVD)

Aidan Gillen, Susan Tyrrell from Warhol's "Bad", and Roman Polanski's wife Emmanuelle Seigner give award-worthy performances in this dark, bizarre, and even quite funny psychological thriller. When I first saw this film on IFC years ago I immediately called IFC the next day and asked how to obtain a copy. I was instructed it was only available from Japan. So I bought a region-free DVD player and bought the DVD from Japan and it was worth every dime. Now I'm looking forward to the special features in this US release. Definitely worthy of its place in film history along side Polanski and Lynch. Definitely worthy of it's place on your DVD rack. This is a MUST see... Well, for those who can handle it!

5.0 out of 5 stars breath of fresh air in the stale world of indie film, September 27, 2005

This review is from: Buddy Boy (DVD)

This is one of those films that reminds you that there is still creative filmmakers and those willing to go out on a limb. The first time I saw Buddy Boy I was relived to have a breath of fresh air in the stale world of indie films. Great cast, interesting script, and great jokes about vegetarians. When is Mark Hanlon going to direct another film??

4.0 out of 5 stars Not as good as Lynch but still...., February 20, 2008

This review is from: Buddy Boy (DVD)

Buddy Boy is a good movie. I have just seen it for the first time after a long wait. I bought this movie because there were many references to David Lynch works, and I have to admit it's quite obvious. But it not a bad thing. Hanlon is clearly not as talented as Lynch, but still, the plot is quite good. The ending tho, is just plain confusion.

If you like strange movies you'll probably like this one.
