Search: Starring Stephen Dillane

The idea of the bare room, the helpless prisoner and the group of aggressive men is profoundly Pinteresque. Unfortunately it has neither Pinter's wit nor his brevity.

There is an awkward balance here between the focus on capturing real events and a clear desire to play to the gallery.

A highly watchable movie, with a protagonist to root for.

Gibson's courage captures criticism. He leaps at the role with such raw excitement that comparisons are superfluous.

It would be difficult to overestimate the quality of this film.

The dialogue has a tendency to forget what century it is.

A shallow portrayal.

Elle Fanning as Shelley has sadness and fire, a performance that could be classed as electric.

When it comes to action, the film doesn't disappoint, and the final scenes of men running around in mud are up there with the best.

Distances of time and space are collapsible in Fingscheidt’s hands.

If this wasn't based on fact, no one would believe the sight of it.

Coogan and Henry Normal's script is full of invention.

There's an awareness here that's missing from many such tales, a more astute take on how disability and society interact.

Beyond simple voyeurism there's really no reason to care.

Always engrossing, at times decidedly uncomfortable viewing, Savage Grace is accomplished cinematic storytelling that will stay with you long after the credits have rolled.

Intricately plotted, by no means predictable and genuinely exciting.

The overall sense of menace the film seems to be aiming for never quite works the way it should.

Jonathan Demme manages to mangle the comedy/romance/thriller genre, because this is not his thing.
