Breakinger A Brilliant Conflict

WillSushyMedia This movie was so-so. It had it's moments, but wasn't the greatest.

Grimossfer Clever and entertaining enough to recommend even to members of the 1%

robini1 A superb and very frightening film at times, watch this one at night, especially if you live out in the country, in a setting such as that of the house! Beautiful old manor, well filmed piece, some humorous moments but more a masterpiece of supernatural horror than a comedy by far. Very difficult to find for sale,and when one does it is often at a very high price.A weird essence of heaven and hell is used throughout the film, is the main character delusional,or is there really something amiss? Many will remember Finney from 'The singing detective' and this piece shows once again his own underrated acting abilities.Highly recommended.

panchro-press Kingsley Amis, a charter member of the English 'Angry Young Men' club of post World War II writers, wrote a marvelous book containing equal parts of horror and humour.'The Green Man' is an adequite translation of Amis's literary masterpiece to the screen; alas, in this case, the television screen.Albert Finney delivers a preformance to match the character Amis created to present the story of a centuries-old child molester who still inhabits the precincts of the home in which he lived.The production is English, hence, superior. If this one doesn't stick with you...check your pulse. -30-

magskier I loved this 3 part series, and have seen it 3 or 4 times over the years. Albert Finney's character, Maurice, does have many unappealing traits. However, Finney makes the character irresistible. Finney plays the anti-hero to perfection. The script is excellent. I loved the scene where Linda Marlow and Sarah Berger (excellent performances both) pull a fast one on the `manipulative' Maurice. Just reading the other reviewers' comments makes me eager to see this British gem again!

johndunbar Everything that Albert Finney `touches' turns to movie gold and he was the perfect choice for the lead role in this highly original ghost story. The mixing of his alcoholic delusions with the supposedly `objective' presentation of the ghost part gave the whole thing an usual screen credibility. One didn't know half the time what was what, glossing over the delusional to the phantasmagoric. The injection of uniquely English, character based humor, lent an important significance to the otherwise just scary (alebeit very scary) story line. Then there was the contrast of pagan hedonism with the contemporary gloss of civilized, sophisticated hedonism (the elaborate meals and wines all being eagerly consummed by mostly boorsish clients), all this being reflected in the conflicted sexual content of the ghost and his `victims'. One could go on and on about the rich fabric of this jewel. Thank God for the Brits !
