The Big Fat Stone

I just finished watching Big fat stone after reading some of the reviews here. Like many of you, I also didn't know what to expect due to the mixed opinions… and like many of you I liked that movie BUT at the same time I can't rate it more than a 6…

Why? Let's start with the good things - The cinematography was good. The acting is superb and even minor roles are detailed and convincing.

However, I found the plot as a bit of a mess. You don't really understand what is the connections between the two stories and it seems like a lot of information is missing.

Other than that the movie was good, but script is a big component in my opinion...

Call me crazy… but I love Canadian movies. I think that there's nothing like watching a movie filled with Canadian actors. I prefer watching Canadian movies than watching Hollywood Oscar winning movies… but that's only me. Anyway, as a Canadian movies fan, I really enjoyed this movie.. I enjoyed the acting very much. Loved the script and especially the fact that the film had two different stories and only at the end all seemed to come to a light but actually left us with questions about what we may think the conclusion really was and why. The only reason I don't give this movie a 10 score, is because I didn't like the fact that D'Angelo pretended the plot happens in New York and not in Canada, but I guess that this is show biz

I've heard so much about this movie and finally got to see it. I have watched it on Bell TV, with my wife and we both have enjoyed this movie very much. We enjoyed the plot, the intensity of the scenes and of the characters, we laughed at some of the scenes and my wife cried at others (women…)

The only problem I see is that I couldn't tell exactly what genre this movie is…It is written as a drama but has some characters of a mob film, and yet, this is definitely not classic mob film. Although I sort of like that fact… I find it as confusing. After all, I wanted to watch that movie from the first place, but if I was looking for a classic drama I would definitely disappointed.

Hi all, This is my first review ever, and please accept my apology but I'm not familiar with the industry jargon… I watched the movie Big Fat Stone after reading some of the reviews here, and I did not know what to expect due to the mixed opinions. Luckily Big Fat Stone did not disappoint me. As mentioned before, I am not an expert in writing reviews… so I'll just write my honest opinion about this movie: The plot is nice, the movie is well shot, the music is fantastic. I also liked the chemistry of the entire cast. Having said that, I felt that some of the actors played a bit over dramatic and not natural. Yet, I enjoyed it due to the beautiful script that made me laugh and cry at the same time. Overall I enjoyed watching this movie, and I recommend you to watch it.

Big Fat Stone is well-written and beautifully shot. When one considers how this movie was made and for what it was made, I am all the more impressed. The acting is well-done, even down to the bit characters. I was particularly impressed with Frank D'Angelo since that was the first time I saw him as an actor.

I liked the movie Big Fat Stone, but I think the plot was too emotional. In some of the scenes it felt like telenovela. I know that this is a drama, and therefore it has too bee too emotional, but I think it was way too much. Other than that, I enjoyed the movie and I recommend you to watch it if you have the chance.
