Offending Angels

This is what cinema is all about. Slick plot lines, great dialogue, superb acting. REMEMBER SPIELBERG GOT SLATED FOR DUEL ! I think we may have found the British version. £70,000 spent, £89 recouped at the box office. This should obviously make it a sure-fire hit on DVD. Go and buy it. A classic. If Hitchcock were alive he would be jealous. Seriously. Ignore the detractors. I remember first seeing Schindler's List and this gave me a similar feeling. Bold shots, swinging cameras, fast pace, a high dynamic which is hard to beat. The music too, WoW!! A masterpiece of a score if ever I heard one. Forget John Williams and all,this is the way forward for film.

Proof that an interesting and amusing film can be created by home-grown British talent working on a low budget. The movie combines an intelligent sensibility, warmth and humour, appealing to a broad audience. Actor-Director Andrew Rajan has made a gem of a British movie!

Nothing is worth your time on this film. Bad performances, a deeply shocking screenplay (you'll hate the characters, be bored by the "plot" and despise the "dialogue") and its shot in the most unimaginative way well, imaginable.

Tough talk - but THIS is exactly what is wrong with contemporary British cinema. Its so sad that tripe like this is allowed to exist. Career car crash for all concerned is whats needed, as unpleasant and spiteful as that sounds.

Don't believe me? Seek it out.....

I saw Offending Angels about one and a half years ago. Even now the memory makes me smile, and I'd love to see it again. One and a half years is a long time you might say, nevertheless I remember some things quite clearly: a beautiful story about friendship, finding out what you really want, changes in life, about love and other miracles; characters so likeable and natural; great laughter and happy smiles in the audience. Lovely and funny details and the humorous tone make every scene and second worth seeing. I know there are people who cannot enjoy a film that does not leave them with a head- or heartache. I like happy endings. Some stories are simple, often the greatest. And some films leave you with little wings, Offending Angels is one of them. On my way home I was singing (great soundtrack, by the way).>

all these people slagging off a good film. most of the journalists don't appear to have even seen it.

i saw it run at the Prince Charles.. and i could swear the place was lots more than half full so i don't know where 89pounds comes from. he got a good bunch of actors before they became famous I think.. Lincon hadn't done Love Actually and Davenport hadn't done Pirates.

I thought the film was good. it was obviously very low budget, but so what? the performances are top notch and me and my boyfriend were in hysterics over the squirrel scenes. its so refreshing to see a film with English humour and not the glossy rubbish Hollywood fare.. something a little rough around the edges but with so much charm. it looked like they were enjoying themselves making it and that comes across a lot in the film. also the story is original. i say good luck to Rajan and i hope he gets to make more films.
