Well... I mean, F*CK! And I'm just talking about the plot twist! I'm still pretty much speechless about it...
About the acting... Both Alice Eve and Stanley Tucci were pretty intense in their role... Alice was... Alice... I mean the Alice interviewed in a Talk Show... She was totally believable, lovely and authentic... Stanley Tucci felt like his stressed out version! Non less authentic, I have to say! His character is not very likable, but Stanley is sympathetic, so of course at some point you cheer for him... The characters suit perfectly the actors, as if the parts were written for the actors...
At first, I thought that the movie would be a little, or maybe a lot, more comic... Not much of the heavy drama it is... I probably thought that 'cause both actors would pull-off the comedic characters easily... But they were great in this dark piece of art... Some Velvet Morning was my first of Neil LaBute's movies... And won't be the last! This movie is very well made, surprising, not as fun as the trailer makes it looks like... The lack of a score can be felt... Maybe the absence means to make the movie a little claustrophobic... I think that Some Velvet Morning is really underrated... It worth a couple prizes...
Call me for a discussion of the plot twist... Specially if it made you feel cheated, angry or confused! Will I answer your questions? Probably not... But this movie deserve to be more discussed!
