Six Ways to Sunday

Which.. i am. I really enjoyed this movie. I mean come on people Issac Hayes and Debbie Harry, we're talking Chef and Blondie, how cool is that? It was very messed up in that "Clockwork Orange" kind of way. I'm not sure what to say about it, but... I really liked it.

This is an odd film to watch, we have all seen movies with overprotective mothers, but nothing quite like this.

I really liked the way that pieces were filled in as the movie progressed, as they slot into place you feel relief that the confusion has gone and dumb for not working it out before.

Sterling performances from Debbie Harry and Norman Reedus.

This movie hangs around in your head for a while after watching it, you don't know whether to laugh at the black humour or be disgusted by it.

I really liked the ending though, so if you can handle the violence and all - stick with it you won't be disappointed. Peace.

What a charmer of a flick. Norman Reedus gives an exceptional performance as Harry. Debbie Harry as his mother is appropriately frumpy and chilling (with one amazing transformation scene - you had to see coming!).

Adrien Brody in an early performance looks to be da role mo-dell fo "Da Ali G" show. He's a terrific idiot homeboy here.

Isaac Hayes, Elina Lowensohn, Jerry Adler and the rest of the supporting cast make this a fresh, disturbing "family" drama.

If director Adam Bernstein seems to run out of steam at the very conclusion - that's okay, since the ride is almost always much more interesting than the destination.

See this movie!

Six Ways To Sunday is billed as a black comedy. That it is, but it is so much more. It is fraught with great characters, situations, and relationships. It is a psychological study that plumbs the depths of a mother/son relationship that effects or determines almost everything that happens in the movie --- good and bad. The relationship is, at the very least, fascinating, but it would be unfair to say more than that. The film tells the story of young man from a depressed area who gets into a life crime. At this point I would like to recognize Mr. Reedus' portrayal of Harry, the naive, gentle, and submissive but simultaneously worldly, aggressive, and violent young man was done deftly and beautifully. A review (Box Office Magazine, I believe) stated that he had the look of Leonardo DiCaprio and the charm of Ewan McGregor --- a dynamite combination that I believe to be true. He could be Hollywood's next big star. The film also sheds light on other human relationships involving love and hate, passion and coldness, and loyalty and betrayal. The film was written and directed by Adam Bernstein. Although there was one situation that I did not find believable which did not detract from the film, Six Ways To Sunday was compelling from beginning to end. A word of caution, the film is deserving of its "R" rating due to some extreme violence and exploring an incestuous relationship. If you do not get a chance to see this film in the theaters, it is well worth renting. Good entertainment. Three plus stars!!!

This is such a great movie. Debbie Harry gives the best performance as a mother obsessed with her son. She even baths him! The film is mainly about a young boy joining the mob to earn money. He has a split personality, likes his Mom too much and falls in love but is essentially an alright guy, if not a little warped. The best scene is when he and his Mom talk about sex. A very underrated film, worth watching if only for Debbie Harry.
