Alicia I love this movie so much

SoftInloveRox Horrible, fascist and poorly acted

Maidexpl Entertaining from beginning to end, it maintains the spirit of the franchise while establishing it's own seal with a fun cast

AZINDN Oh well, one always hopes to be dazzled by anything Ewan McGregor puts his enormous and gifted talents to with few exceptions, we are always pleased. Nevertheless, Solid Geometry is atypical in its storyline and approach to direction, thus the production is a muddle of many directions and mismatched stories.McGregor's uncle, mentor, director, the talented Denis Lawson weaves his story of a young man obsessed with the dusty journals of a departed great grandfather into a postmodern H.P. Lovecraft-style story. This is fine and easy to follow as the character McGregor plays is a rather yuppie shallow sort with a cute wife, good job, and not much going on upstairs. However, once he uncovers the journals and a jar containing a preserved p*#is, the web begins to draw in this loose at ends fly.Lawson's direction of his nephew is relaxed and the relationship is obvious in McGregor's character development of Phil. McGregor's acting at times seems to be on automatic pilot for he seems to forget to act. Rather than melting into character, the character melts into the actor. Lawson should have urged the actor to take more charge of his role.Perhaps more problematic is why we should care about the faltering relationship between Phil and his wife, Maise. She is an underdeveloped character suffering the ultimate end as a guinea pig to her distracted and cold husband. But, when Phil's libido returns, she and WE are delighted to be treated to a voyeuristic romp in the hay with Phil and Masie. Lawson's overhead camera work in the bedroom love scenes will have Ewan McGregor fans panting for more.Butt, or no -- Solid Geometry is uneven, in need of editing, and maybe a wee bit more direction than either McGregor or Lawson has presented. Not bad, just not solid.

sue-leather I watched this on television because of the casting more than anything else - Capaldi always turns in a good performance and I have long enjoyed his work. I also have a great respect for Lawson the actor, but hadn't realised that he also directs (and to a very high standard, if this is anything to go by). However, the film has stayed in my mind long afterwards as one of the most frightening pieces of drama I've ever seen and I often find myself remembering snatches of it - for me, that's a sure sign of quality. Considering how short this film is and the limitations of its few locations, the intensity of emotion and menace conjured up by the unobtrusive directing and understated acting is nothing short of extraordinary. Yes, there are lots of unresolved strands in the story, but life itself is like that, and I found that its very open-endedness only added to my sense of unease. Highly recommended, but not for the faint-hearted!

Florence Lawrence After watching "Solid Geometry" I was left staring at the screen for a bit, stunned, it's a good idea to watch this with friends so you can discuss it.It's not so complex and intricate as something like 'Mullholland Drive', but it has a taste of that.Ewan Mcgregor fans will love it, as it has the thought provoking style of much of his work, and great directing by his uncle Denis Lawson.Definitely worth watching, even though at 30 minutes it does feel unfinished, unexpanded, almost like a taster for a bigger project, almost like a vehicle to attract funding in order to make a full feature.

hatman65 Channel 4 ran endless teaser trailers for this unique and compelling programme. Directed by Dennis Lawson (famous for his role as tie-fighter 'Wedge' in all three original STAR WARS MOVIES) this short film follows Ewan McGregor's life changing experiences and discent into almost madness.This begins to esculate with the discovery of his Grandfathers old diaries. These are full of unusual tales and resolutions, which Ewan McGregor is asked to edit for his late Grandfather from beyond the grave.Before long McGregor gets so wrapped up in the diaries that he begins to ignore and resent his girlfriend.Half-way in to the story, McGregor reads of how his Grandfather created a devise which can send a human being into another dimension or something similar (either i missed something or its left for you decide).It's impossible to say anymore without spoiling it for those who haven't seen it.I didn't go to any special effort to watch this film, but i am very glad that (by chance) i did.It was shot in a unique style and grabbed my attention right till the end.I often judge how good a film is by how much i think or talk about it afterwards, with this in mind i must of really enjoyed it!Really worth a viewing if you get the chance, just to have a chat about in the pub, if nothing else...
