Solid Geometry (2002)

Truly Dreadful Film

This movie was so-so. It had it's moments, but wasn't the greatest.

Like the great film, it's made with a great deal of visible affection both in front of and behind the camera.

Worth seeing just to witness how winsome it is.

I watched this on television because of the casting more than anything else - Capaldi always turns in a good performance and I have long enjoyed his work. I also have a great respect for Lawson the actor, but hadn't realised that he also directs (and to a very high standard, if this is anything to go by). However, the film has stayed in my mind long afterwards as one of the most frightening pieces of drama I've ever seen and I often find myself remembering snatches of it - for me, that's a sure sign of quality. Considering how short this film is and the limitations of its few locations, the intensity of emotion and menace conjured up by the unobtrusive directing and understated acting is nothing short of extraordinary. Yes, there are lots of unresolved strands in the story, but life itself is like that, and I found that its very open-endedness only added to my sense of unease. Highly recommended, but not for the faint-hearted!

I loved this film. I saw it about 2 years ago now, I can't actually remember but i remember seeing it on TV. Only 30 minutes long, but was excellent. I felt perhaps it could have been longer and could have had a better ending, but Ewan's character is great in this, and i would recommend it to anyone. This film is great and deserves an 8. Has anyone else seen this film? I can see that it didn't get many ratings. I thought it was amazing. I felt a little weird after watching it. I mean could you imagine if this sort of stuff could actually happen. It would be really weird and amazing at the same time. I am going to try and find this film in stores.

After watching "Solid Geometry" I was left staring at the screen for a bit, stunned, it's a good idea to watch this with friends so you can discuss it.It's not so complex and intricate as something like 'Mullholland Drive', but it has a taste of that.Ewan Mcgregor fans will love it, as it has the thought provoking style of much of his work, and great directing by his uncle Denis Lawson.Definitely worth watching, even though at 30 minutes it does feel unfinished, unexpanded, almost like a taster for a bigger project, almost like a vehicle to attract funding in order to make a full feature.

Channel 4 ran endless teaser trailers for this unique and compelling programme. Directed by Dennis Lawson (famous for his role as tie-fighter 'Wedge' in all three original STAR WARS MOVIES) this short film follows Ewan McGregor's life changing experiences and discent into almost madness.This begins to esculate with the discovery of his Grandfathers old diaries. These are full of unusual tales and resolutions, which Ewan McGregor is asked to edit for his late Grandfather from beyond the grave.Before long McGregor gets so wrapped up in the diaries that he begins to ignore and resent his girlfriend.Half-way in to the story, McGregor reads of how his Grandfather created a devise which can send a human being into another dimension or something similar (either i missed something or its left for you decide).It's impossible to say anymore without spoiling it for those who haven't seen it.I didn't go to any special effort to watch this film, but i am very glad that (by chance) i did.It was shot in a unique style and grabbed my attention right till the end.I often judge how good a film is by how much i think or talk about it afterwards, with this in mind i must of really enjoyed it!Really worth a viewing if you get the chance, just to have a chat about in the pub, if nothing else...
