"Be nice to me, I gave blood today." Just in case you were thinking about mean, I thought you should know.
I watched About Adam today. It's an Irish film, so I already was predisposed to liking it, although I'm not certain I can give it a completely positive endorsement. The story deals with Stuart Townsend's character and his relationship with an entire family--each of three sisters and a brother. The story is never told through Adam's point of view, rather subjectively from each of the siblings. The unsettlingly part of the film comes at the end--after we've seen a very different interpretation of Adam from each of the other characters--when Adam looks straight at the camera, like he has hoodwinked us, too. It's creepy; I don't know if I've been taken in by his smarmy good looks or if I'm too clever for that.
