VHS Movie Reviews of Closet Land [VHS]
Movie Review: Disturbing, Eye-opening, and Stimulating
Summary: 5 Stars
I watched this film with 3 guys of the terminator persuation. I asked them to try something different and see what they thought. If it Stank, we could always watch something mindless that explodes alot. We turned out the light and started the movie... Not a single peep from any of them until the end of the film. Suddenly, intellectual discussion spontaneously erupted from these otherwise shallow people...I was astounded. They found the movie enlightening and interesting and disturbing at the same time. Note: there are only two people in the entire film? This should have been on stage. Rickman was amazing and Stowe was a bright shining star.
Highly recommend as a change of pace...Topic is an adult one, I would say no children under 15.
Movie Review: Eye opening
Summary: 5 Stars
This film hits the heart with a reality like no other I have seen. It shows what us what we, in a democratic society, take for granted, and just what we are lucky enough not to be experiencing. The acting in the film is superb, sometimes you have to remind yourself that the movie is a dramatization, and not real life. Mr. Rickman does wonders with his role (as he does with all roles) making the interrogator fully dimensional and human. The set is incredible. It gives the feeling of 'in the round" theater. Which does not add or take away from the emotion of the action. This movie seeks to open the eyes of the viewer, and I'd say they have made a success of that goal.Movie Review: Chilling and Brilliant.......
Summary: 5 Stars
I found this movie extremely moving. There were times when I found myself in tears. I agree with the reviewer who said to watch it alone in a quiet room......you will be drawn in and profoundly moved by not only the story, but the superb acting. Madeleine Stowe is very good and Alan Rickman is just incredible as the Interrogator. The set was perfect and the music really defined the action - it was great. I thought it was anything but boring - I was mesmerized from beginning to end. Please pay attention to the message of this film - just like children make easy victims, so do people who don't speak out about governmental abuse of citizens. As the message says at the end of the film...."over half the world's governments continue to use torture against their own citizens". It's a frightening thought. This film is definitely a must see.Movie Review: Mineola (reviewer) should go back into the closet
Summary: 5 Stars
This is a very powerful, moving and skillfully written and acted film. The above mentioned reviewer is most likely a product of the MTV generation of fast takes and shallow dialog. Often times movies that are panned by the 'common folk', are done so, because they watch movies for pure entertainment and have no appreciation for what goes into the craft of direction, dialog and overall film making. This movie will not leave you with a 'good' feeling, but at least it will leave you with a profound impact.
No, it may not mirror true reality, but what film actually does completely.
I rented this movie years ago, (I do confess to wanting to see the lovely Madeline Stowe and the versatile actor Rickman) but was quickly absorbed into its depth and power.
Watch it in a quiet room with little distraction and I assure you; you will be moved.
and contrary to the earlier reviewers comments: I am not an actor, and I REALLY doubt the reviewer's belief in most of the viewers analysis of other reviewers. I give the film 5 stars to negate an otherwise insulting and innacurate portrayal of this wonderful movie.
Movie Review: indulgent and horrifying
Summary: 5 Stars
This movie plays on all our fears of of a situation like this. Its an amzaing emotional and intellectual ride which shows the control of interrogation being placed at once in the hands to the interrogator and victim. Alan Rickan as INCREDIBLE. This movie would be disturbing for most, and provides some glimpses into human thought and behavior mechanisms we generally don't like to think about.
