Intermission, a review by Danae Cassandra
Where We Are: Ireland

What We Watched:
Intermission
Year of Release: 2003
Starring: Colin Farrell, Cillian Murphy, Brian O'Byrne, Kelly MacDonald, Colm Meaney
Directed By: John Crowley
Genre: Comedy, Drama, Crime, Romance
Overview:
Fifty-four characters and eleven storylines intersect with "dazzling" (San Francisco Chronicle) results in this "raucously funny and compellingly gritty" (BBCi) comedy. An ingenious tale of small-town delinquents, shady cops and warring lovers reunited by a bizarre kidnapping plan, Intermission is a dark, edgy, "very funny study of love, lust and petty crime" (Sight & Sound)!
My Thoughts:
This is a sort of gritty, slice-of-life of the working class kind of film. It had a kind of disjointed beginning, and I wasn't sure I was going to enjoy the movie, but I gave it a chance and as it developed I was drawn further in and everything came together wonderfully. It's entertaining and fun - and really, really funny at certain parts. The look on Colin Farrell's face when Cillian Murphy's character puts the brown sauce in his tea. I just about couldn't stop laughing. It's a bit violent, the language is coarse, but the dialogue is well written and the actors really embody their parts. I'll admit I bought it because of the presence of Colm Meaney, being the Trek fan I am, and he's great in it, but none of the actors are slouches. Recommended for anyone who's enjoyed an ensemble piece.

My Thoughts:
This one never really impressed me that much. Found it to be a bit slow and uninteresting. Probably one of my least favorite of any I have watched so far.
