Anus Magillicutty (2003)
His best since Dark Places
Skip Winston is the one to watch here. It's an edge-of-your seat performance that recalls the glory days of Pacino and De Niro.
Those of you that remembered his sinister Boom Operator in Dark Places will know what to expect. And yet there's a layer of subtlety, a beautiful undercurrent of longing, that makes that performance pale by comparison. Indeed, he's almost unrecognisable from that performance alone.
Let's hope for more from this talented young actor. Surely, this film must have given him greater attention elsewhere. And yet, for any aspiring director, there must be a worry about casting Skip: would he eclipse the entire film? Would a Winston performance eclipse the star? The answer, in this film at least, is yes.
With a performance like this, it's hard to widen your attention to the film as a whole. But what did I like most about the film? Specifically, the milieu.
