Not bad

I struggled with 'The Toll' for the first half hour or so as I found the plot to be muddled and all over the place. Gradually though things fell into place and made some kind of sense. At times this movie tries way too hard to be quirky and the influence from other movies is blatantly obvious. 'Fargo', 'Pulp Fiction' and any spaghetti western you care to mention spring to mind. Elements of Tarantino. Guy Ritchie and Sergio Leonne are so obvious that it can detract from the overall impact of this movie.

I did enjoy it though, especially after the first half of the movie. Yes, it does try too hard to be clever, but it is worth a watch.

Quirky black comedy

Really enjoyed this eccentric story which uses the Welsh landscape to great effect - creating a storyline that moves along but that feels imbued with a languorous quality. The cast was fantastic, particularly loved Annes Elwy.

If you like quirky and off beat I'd highly recommend.

Low Key and Brilliant

I loved this movie, great acting, twisted storylines and some dark laughs.

I don't understand why it's rating is so low, some people have no sense of humour.

What did they say?

Thought this was a good movie but the only problem is the lack of subtitles. Being deaf I have to rely on subtitles. So the comment about Americans not understanding the speed in which we speak is really silly and the person really hasn't thought this out properly.

Dark humor brilliant acting well written.

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.

Trivia
Dixie, who is dressed in an Elvis Presley outfit throughout her appearances in the film, mentions wanting to "get to Porthcawl for the Elvis Festival", which she hopes to win. Porthcawl is a well-known Welsh seaside resort, about eighty or ninety miles from the scene of this film's events and in a different county, and it does hold an annual weekend event honoring "the King", where many hundreds of Elvis impersonators from all over the world compete to see who's the best lookalike.
