Cuckoo – DVD Review

28 March 2011 1:30 PM, PDT | HeyUGuys.co.uk | See recent HeyUGuys news »

Polly (Laura Fraser) works with Professor Julian Greengrass (Richard E Grant) in a generic “science lab”, running tests on something to do with heart disease. When she is not there, she is holed up in her dark apartment where she starts to hear voices. Professor Greengrass is infatuated with her, her boyfriend Chapman (Adam Fenton) keeps wandering off and her sister Jimi (Antonia Bernath) won’t leave her alone. She is concerned that she is losing her hold on reality. We are concerned that we might not reach the end of the film still awake.

*****

Although it may have felt like something of a coup for writer/director Richard Bracewell to have bagged Richard E Grant for his sophomore effort, the reality is that Grant’s best years and work are long behind him. The recognition factor of his name may have helped attract funding for the film’s production and distribution, »

DVD Review - Cuckoo (2009)

2 March 2011 6:57 AM, PST | Flickeringmyth | See recent Flickeringmyth news »

Cuckoo, 2009.

Directed by Richard Bracewell.

Starring Laura Fraser, Richard E. Grant, Antonia Bernath, Adam F. and Tamsin Greig.

Synopsis:

Trapped in a dead-end job and with her relationship falling apart, a young woman finds herself questioning her grip on reality and turns to her boss for support, but he has a dark secret of his own.

Cuckoo is a thriller that tries to play on the fact that a professor gradually becomes more obsessed with his star pupil. Unfortunately for me I didn’t believe in that element of the story and if I’m honest I think the focus of the plot was shifted too much for the film to be enjoyable.

One of the main problems I personally had with the film was that the characters were very one dimensional. They each had problems and issues but I neither believed or cared about any of them. Richard E. Grant »
