Review of Miranda

Miranda (2002)
8/10
Unusual Romantic Comedy Thriller
12 January 2005
Difficult to box this one which is, I think, why the reviews have been not entirely favourable. I had very low expectations after reading other reviews on this film but was very pleasantly surprised and would thoroughly recommend it. I very rarely watch a film twice but liked this so much that I sat through it (and enjoyed it) again with a friend.

This is beautifully shot and doesn't feel independent brit flicky at all - very slick and stylish. I think everyone turned in a really good performance and although the script was quirky I found it very believable. This does manage to get a little bit of everything in it - romance, comedy, thrills and although it doesn't sit fully in any genre I actually liked it for that. I think if you can watch this with a completely open mind and no pre-conceived ideas about what genre of film you're about to watch then you'll definitely enjoy it. Kyle McLachlan was deliciously pervy in it and Christina Ricci seemed to switch seamlessly between vamp and vulnerable. Def have a look.
