Movie Review : Frailty
April 19th, 2006Frailty is a great movie. Really. I thoroughly enjoyed every aspect of this movie, including Matthew Mcconaughey who I usually don’t really get into, because I usually think he’s a bit of a method actor. Bill Paxton delivers a great performance too, as the father of the two sons we go back in time to story tell about. Matthew Mcconaughey, we know, is one of the sons, but we’re not entirely sure which, although we are led to believe in one direction throughout the movie.
It’s a story about perspective, about religion and faith, and the difference between true evil and true good, and the struggle in young boys with coming to terms with what they believe their dear old dad is doing - murdering innocent people that he says are “demons”. If I tell you too much more, I might spoil it for you if you’re thinking of renting it. Just know this, it’s a good ending, great story telling with interesting and mysterious characters. Great acting, and good cinematography.
Grade : A+
