Once again seeing this kind of movies turns me more and more into English humor, not too often seen on screen since the days of Monty Python and Man About The House. Too bad.
Brenda Blethyn (Who I first saw in Saving Grace early in the year, another must see by the way.) just excels, as Alfred Molina does. The rest of the cast, while virtually unknown to me, turns on great performances too. The film starts slowly and gradually gains in pace and amusement - midway I had tears in my eyes from laughing.
All in all, a funny English movie, a thousand times better than the supposedly 'funny' garbage that comes from Hollywood.

I just thought it was excellent and I still do. I'm grateful we're still able to see different stuff from what Hollywood almost floods us with. Saving Grace is smart and enjoyable - those who feel offended by the marijuana thing better go see the America's bride sort of movie.
Saving Grace also shows that a funny movie doesn't have to be stupid. I was laughing my ass off during most of it but also pondering questions about what was the female lead character supposed to do to pay her deceased husband's debts.
In a nutshell - a witty storyline with typical English humour and good acting and directing. You couldn't ask for more.
7/10.

Just saw it late afternoon, and I was induced to yawning or even falling asleep for a while. I didn't leave the room in the hope that as the film went on it would improve and take a fast pace, but man was I wrong.
I'm not keen on Hollywood blockbusters (Most of which are lame) but neither am I on endless drags like Dogville. I may like independent stuff as long as it's visible, but this eternal piece should be recommended for people suffering from insomnia. If I had known this movie is totally filmed in what looks like a typical theater stage I would've saved four or used them to see something better.
I don't doubt the people involved in its filming and playing have done a good job, but the whole thing seems too weird - come on, a town in the middle of nowhere with no landscape in sight but darkness, etc...
I won't carry on as not to spoil it, though I think readers will know what to do by now.
In a nutshell, and using a typical Spanish saying, this movie even puts the sheep to sleep.
1/10.
