The Great Ecstasy of Robert Carmichael (2005)
Extreme ending doesn't detract from an absorbing film
4 March 2007
This felt slightly unprofessional, and some of the acting wasn't very good, but enough of the characters were well acted and interesting enough for me to become completely engrossed.
There were quite a few "artistic" shots, which I thought were OK. Overall the visuals and music worked well to create an atmosphere. I particularly liked the scene at the drug dealers house (although it turned quite horrible).
If you're reading reviews here you probably know about shocking scene towards end but for me that was a complete surprise. I can see why a lot of people dislike the film for this ending, but I'm quite neutral about that - I might have preferred something more gentle, but the ending we got was powerful and certainly stuck in my mind.
