the film open with one of the truly extraordinary set piece . rather like a die star it draw all the character in only to explode the order of their life . director michell and the adequate daniel craig successfully manage to keep u guess that joe may also be lose it . rhys ifans be a bit overwhelming a the truly unhinged jed . if only they be both a a balance a the excellent samantha morton ( joe girlfriend claire ) . the slightly lumpy casting continue right down to the teeny part represent ben wishaw student be entirely superfluous to the film but utterly watchable whenever he on the screen . conversely the use of alexandra aitken ( who say no more than half a dozen word in her one scene ) be a horribly offputting and nepotistic stain on the film . for all this shifty assembly ( often and the script manage neither to bind the chat nor the drama ) it be beautifully film and have dramatic poise . above all i really enjoy jeremy sam score and borrow a french inflected soulfulness from debussy and messaien and even bartok . thank goodness for the success of this meditative facet a the film could fall apart without it . 4/10 .
