REVIEW "Mister Foe" is a delightful surprise! Perhaps oddball coming-of-age movies strike a chord with me. My all-time favorite is probably about a young man who, like Hallam Foe, has unusual behavior. Jamie Bell, who was excellent in and came to our attention with "Billy Elliott" in 2000, plays a young man who is a peeping tom in an apparent reaction to the loss of his mother. The intensity and range he expresses glued my eyes to the film. Claire Forlani who captured my heart in "Meet Joe Black" and was recently in "In the Name of the King" plays the heavy in the film, the domineering step-mother. She does a great job with her subtle performance. The moment early on in the film where Hallam refers to her as a lady of the evening is followed by a pregnant pause at his faux pas, followed by her rollicking laughter. It's a great moment. Hallam sees Kate in Edinburgh who resembles his mother and follows her, securing a job where she works. Kate is played by the lovely Sophia Myles who was on TV's "Moonlight" and also played in the film "Tristan & Isolde." Myles comments on the appealing nature of Bell's posterior in a witty aside in the DVD featurette. Kate sports a businesslike air on the job, but lets loose in her private life. Hallam spies on her as she makes love to her married lover Alasdair played by Jamie Sives. The moment when Sives looks up and makes eye contact with Hallam and seems to enjoy being watched as he makes love is so wrong in so many ways and yet works marvelously in the context of the film. Ciaran Hinds who was great in and also was in "There Will Be Blood" plays Hallam's father Julius. The touching father-son moment is well played and creates emotional depth. Ewen Bremner who was in "Fool's Gold" has a delightful deleted scene and a sparkling cameo as Andy the bellhop. Maurice Roeves also has a great cameo as the grizzly old dishwasher. "Mister Foe" may be a naughty pleasure, but it is a delightful film, sparkling with energy and originality. Bravo!
