This is one of those films where critics appreciate the craft and style while audiences don't know what the hell's going on. This movie is seen by people as either a misogynistic piece of work or a slow-going mess. Well, as a person who goes into any movie based on Rotten Tomatoes critic scores rather than the bot-infested IMDb average user ratings or Flixster's community of 12 year olds, I can say that while Sexy Beast is still Glazer's best feature film, I see this as an absorbing, haunting look at how sometimes, the real monster is man himself. |
