The Law of Enclosures

I stumbled upon it unexpectedly but it was marvellous, my next step is to read the book. I recommend this movie to anyone both young and old, it'll definetly capture you. The actors are amazing in particular Sarah Polley who shines!

A great film about the struggles and decline of relationships. Sarah Polley is excellent as usual, she can just do no wrong in my book. Her character is a somber, depressed young women after her relationship with Brenden Fletcher changes from its romantic beginning to a lonely, neglected existence. The older couple of Dianne Ladd and Sean McCann is a particularly vicious pairing, they are very, very cruel to each other. Nice music/background sounds creating an atmospheric feel that puts one in touch with the mood of the film,... changes, life, pain, love, a story about these simple and complicated things.

The film depicts the relationship between Beatrice and Henry as children, teenagers, and an elderly couple. The narrative, however, presents all three stages during the Persian Gulf crisis. Greyson ties these elements together with the use of a clock which "stops time" (in essence).

The film tends to be a bit on the strange side, but has a good story and a great concept. A nice change of pace from the usual narrative! Based on the novel by Dale Peck.

I have seen The Law of Enclosures twice now. Although there are several flaws in the film, there are also many moments of brilliance. The director wove wonderful metaphors throughout the film, and the cinematography also had its moments. Brendan Fletcher gives an amazing performance - as always. I, personally, was fascinated by the film and am looking forward to director John Greyson moving onward and upward.

I am watching this film for the first time,I just have 2 words for it LOVED IT!! I am not a film expert but this film leaves me feeling so many emotions at the same time,from sadness to depression to happiness at love found when it seemed was lost.. even when the ending was the way it was--sappy but true,I recommend it highly,sorry it took me so long to find it :)
