    Storyline

    Edit

    Did you know

    Edit
    • Trivia
      Although much of Hallam Foe is filmed in central Edinburgh, the film avoids showing Edinburgh Castle, which is visible from many of the real life locations.
    • Goofs
      In the beginning, when Verity is being assisted in waxing her legs, she is clearly still wearing stockings (you can tell by the color of her legs and the difference between most of the leg and the top, where the welt distinguishes the terminus of the stocking. A stocking would prevent wax from fully adhering to the leg hair and nullify its effectiveness.
    • Quotes

      [last lines]

      Kate Breck: Look me up in five years' time.

      Hallam Foe: Will you still be beautiful in five years' time?

      Kate Breck: I hope so.

      Hallam Foe: You will be.

    • Crazy credits
      The end credits appear to have been hand-lettered. There are even words and names that have been crossed out, apparently having been included in error.

    entertainingly wayward
    Excellent performances, including a beautiful one by the city of Edinburgh, are what make this erratic movie worth seeing. Jamie Bell is very endearing, and demonstrates a wide emotional range (compare and contrast dull American actors like Ryan Phillippe and Matt Damon). He's well supported by, amongst others, Sophia Myles, Jamie Sives, that wonderful old stager Maurice Roeves and, in an splendid cameo, Ewan Bremner.

    The story loses itself in unconvincing melodrama towards the end, which is a pity. Up till then it's an eccentric, entertainingly wayward affair, with a sparky script, good photography and lively editing.
