(1 - 13) of 13 OFCS Rating: 67% Fresh Page   1   "The adolescent peeping Tom Hallam Foe is a fascinating character, brought to thrilling life by Jamie Bell in yet another extraordinary performance."   european-films.net   Boyd van Hoeij B+ "An engrossing, provocative drama, the feature sniffs out just the right level of lurid behavior to keep the viewer in concert with the mounting domestic woes. It's a feature of unpredicted, and quite thrilling, discomfort."   BrianOrndorf.com   Brian Orndorf C- "Boring, meandering, and painfully self-important, "Mister Foe" is writer/director David Mackenzie's follow-up to his much better effort "Young Adam" (2003)."   ColeSmithey.com   Cole Smithey 6/10 "By the end of "Hallam Foe," you've nearly forgotten his all-too-regular boy development. Now you're wondering, what's Kate doing when he's not looking?"   PopMatters   Cynthia Fuchs 2.5/4 "Grumpy Glaswegians going at it are once again the focus of David ("Young Adam") Mackenzie's bleak and dreary -- but not wholly uninteresting -- drama."   rec.arts.movies.reviews   David N. Butterworth 3/5 "it's ultimately impossible to rise above the overly melodramatic script. The world doesn't really need another wicked stepmother, after all."   Filmcritic.com   Don Willmott 1.5/4 "An occasion for David Mackenzie to infuse his smutty purview of modern romantic relations with twee affectation."   Slant Magazine   Ed Gonzalez B "It's a modestly effective story, even a little moving in a weird way, and worth watching for Bell's intriguing and sympathetic performance."   EricDSnider.com   Eric D. Snider B "t's a modestly effective story, even a little moving in a weird way, and worth watching for Bell's intriguing and sympathetic performance."   EricDSnider.com   Eric D. Snider 3/4 "The Hitchcockian elements are actually much subtler than recognized, partly because the film is generally more a comedy than some Peeping Tom-esque thriller."   eFilmCritic.com   Erik Childress 3/5 "This Scottish film often pushes for realism, though its stylish tones fall back on whimsy."   Film Threat   Matthew Sorrento "[The film's] intellectualized sexuality stirs neither the head nor the nether regions."   Cinematical   Nick Schager 4.5/5 "Affirms the raw talents of both David Mackenzie (Young Adam) and Jamie Bell (who's come a long way since Billy Elliot)."   Shadows on the Wall   Rich Cline  (1 - 13) of 13 OFCS Rating: 67% Fresh Page   1
