Quick Review

A Single Man is a low key drama, which delivers one of the most memorable lead performances I have witnessed in a long time.

Colin Firth portrays a wide range of emotion and just by a slight change in his face, he delivers a pang of emotion. I felt this deeply and was enthralled by his deeply sympathetic performance.

A Single Man is a movie that made me think about what is important in life and how to live it to the fullest. And that is not something to be taken lightly.

A Single Man is a fantastic little movie.
