Themes of young people fighting with their body image and emerging sexual identity, it covered a broad range of youth problems and displayed them with artistic flair and sensitivity really worth seeing again - five stars for this production. It also makes a great polticial comment on trans-people and their sometimes sad fate in this backward society.
On to the Lighthouse Cinema...
The Drop at the Cuba Lighthouse
This crime thriller, set in Brooklyn, was a neat and well tuned movie with not a dull moment. The script was good, the cinematography excellent,and the performances from the main three actors, and indeed all the supports, were top of the scale. I would dare say there will be Oscar nominations here. Tom Hardy is such a great actor, and he plays the not so simple bartender with such skill you would swear he was a Brooklyner. James Gandolfini in his very last role was also the full quid.
The Drop at the Cuba Lighthouse

A Five star movie in my humble opinion and a good finish to an otherwise very quiet day spent writing Christmas cards. Tomorrow I am having breakfast with K at the Gotham, much awaited.
