I cannot believe I wasted my time watching this nonsense. I'm going to keep this review short and simple like I wish they kept this movie. How are you going to tell me that in a town full of people who have known this man all of his life and work with him every day cannot tell when it's him dressed as a woman? Are they mentally deficient? The sheriff is fooled as well? Really? I'm done

This movie is something you might expect if Freud and Hitchcock got together for an evening of drinking and writing.You never really do know what will happen next.Sybil comes to mind I suppose.The entire childhood is the Greenroom (Louise Fletcher Sybil "What happened in the green room Sybil").This movie could have gone many ways.It will not haunt you, but it will leave you in subtle shock I think at the margins of human experience. Maybe it erodes the margins - it dances on the edges of maps.In fact, they SHOULD have put in Dylan's My Back Pages - but it's probably best no anchor to reality is made in a soundtrack etc. After all this isn't Juno.All I know is the description said a train wreck changes a small mid western town unexpectedly.And I do say- that was an accurate assessment.a Clark bar anyone?

What to say that hasn't already been said very well about peacock? This movie chills me every time, murphy is extraordinary. I can't understand why this film was just buried? This is sundance gold! Any film festival should have just eaten this sh*t up. Yet very few know pf this movie. This is not a comparison, by any means. Just saying the last film that affected me so much was we need to talk about kevin (06/2012) which, if you haven't seen....... SEE NOW! OK. Back to peacock. Sarandon in wonderful in her go-get-em-girl, we-can-do-it way. Surprises came in the rest of the supporting cast, a few of which normally don't impress me much, the whole town seemed so real. I believed that they believed who she was. I believed they thought of them as a married couple. Murphy does such a fantastic job bringing both characters to life (yeah, split personality is done a lot, but this one's worth it) Here's a couple movies u should watch if you love peacock, just sending film ideas out there, like peacock, many of these are underseen etc...Hard candyPerfumeZombie strippers (i sh*t you not it's genius! Just give it sn hour and a half, thank me laterAn American crime (yikes!)Death to smoochyYeah, im random

Lets be honest here I think Cillian is amazing on any day, OK so Sunshine wasn't a wonderful movie but I still liked him in it.Cillian Murphy is amazingly psychotically bad in "Red Eye" and fantastically whimsical and engrossing in "Breakfast on Pluto". In this movie he is absolutely believable as the off the edge, damaged, suppressed, introverted and terrified of everything John and the outgoing confident and all over wonderful Emma. Helped by the coverings of the clothes of the day both roles are absolutely spot on.Ellen Paige's role lacks the edge of complete confusion that should have gone with the interaction with the two characters and omission of the script rather than the actress.This has only just arrived on video in New Zealand but it is an absolute gem. There are a couple of great touches that highlight really well just how the characters are coping with the situation and they really help illustrate just how repressed and covert things had to be behind closed doors.The film is a really slow build and it is worth the wait. Untypical of the breed you are left with the wonder of how they all would have been after it ended. The sign I think of a satisfying movie - you get to be involved with the people and feel for them. I would have loved to have seen it on the big screen but no such luck although I will try to get the local arty theatre to put it on their list.
