The Toll

Ok so if you like quirky, dark, a bit off the wall, really small town with comedy sprinkled in then it's here. I absolutely give this gem a solid 8! Extremely well written, and wonderfully directed. Cinematography is fantastic, and all of the acting is right on the money Each character plays their part exceptionally well and I'll give a lot of that to the director.

Michael Smilley and Annes Elway are absolute standouts!! You can literally feel they were motion says they're acting.

Think David Lynch meets Wes Anderson and then you have it.

The storyline is very easy to follow although you're not certain what's going to happen next and what's better than that.

I would highly recommend this.

Enjoyed this film, which is clearly shot on a limited budget, with a small cast who were all excellent.

It manages to tell an interesting story set within some well shot Welsh scenery and it kept me watching to the end. If you want an action film this clearly isn't the film for you but as a small scale character piece with some humour then I'd give this a try. Kind of in a similar vein to Restless Natives if anyone reading this remembers that film.

Yes, David Lynch was the name that hit my head when I was watching this, of course it's not into a league of great movies. But still the slow pace, character build up, the grim backdrop, and the background music all blended well. Both the lead actors and most of the others did a fair job. Overall it's a good movie, a real movie, way better than the netflix junks.

This movie was made by a Welsh lover of Quentin Tarantino and Ennio Morricone, unfortunately having the talent of neither; although it was enjoyable in parts, it felt like an extended sunday night TV programme, rather than a movie. One comment I will make is to the reviewer who doesn't understand the need for subtitles. Most foreigners, including Americans can't understand UK accents or keep up with our pace of speech.

Americans bemuse me, asking for bloody subtitles, yet i seem to understand all of your accents? No wonder the world says 'dumb yanks'. On point, what an excellent little indie, full of the cream of British actors/comedians. Tight as a gnats chuff script, great acting and cinematography and lovely dark humour peppered throughout. Again i don't give 8's lightly but come on...Subtitles? (it had them for the welsh bits) Go and watch a bit of World cinema (And not Hollywood crud) this film was great. Well deserving of the 8, as it was written brilliantly. Meh, heathens make my blood boil. Anyway 8+ (just to anger the stupid)
