Very very predictable, including the post credit scene !!!
Good movie but grossly overrated
Easily the biggest piece of Right wing non sense propaganda I ever saw.
The movie turns out to be a little better than the average. Starting from a romantic formula often seen in the cinema, it ends in the most predictable (and somewhat bland) way.
It's was a good job Mr Firth was in it otherwise I would never have made it to the end. The hype appears to be based on the artistic side of the production. I prefer to be entertained.
Nobody can doubt the calibre of the cast involved, or the director, Tom Ford, but for me this film didn't really do a lot.A simple premise is stretched to breaking point, and even then the film feels overlong.Colin Firth as ever gives the type of performance that thoroughly deserved awards, and I also liked Matthew Goode in his role too.Ultimately though this film will not be one that i'd wish to see again, and plotting and character development are the two reasons for this I'm afraid.A single man - a decent film
This film is set on 30 November 1962 in Southern California. It stars Colin Firth as a depressed, homosexual, university professor who is bereaved of his partner and is contemplating suicide.Julianne Moore gives a great performance as the protagonist's best friend - which is the only good thing about the film.This film is dull and miserable for the viewers. Firth's character chooses not to kill himself - but he dies of a heart attack later the same day. This film was misleadingly promoted as including a romance between Firth and Moore's characters.
refined adaptation. touching performance of Colin Firth. and Isherwoodţs universe in warm colors. Julianne Moore doing a splendid work. and the film itself as an old song from a lost age. a film who could be one of favorites for Oscar. its sin - the strange beauty who gives to it not exactly the status of universal story or gay manifesto, profound subject in the right light, but the role of chain of questions. large themes. in unconventional forms. and a story about life and its sense in the light of impressive picture about failure, past, need to reconquest old moments to be yourself. an experience more than a film. see it !
