The Tribe (1998)
3/10
Condescending rubbish
5 December 2012
What exactly is the point being made here? Is it that walking around in a group wearing dark clothing, eating insects for tea, sleeping with multiple partners both female and male, living as a communion in a grotty abandoned building and spending the day flogging knocked-off phones is a good way to live? If it is, then Mr Poliakoff doesn't set out his argument well... There are so many character shifts, contradictions and inconsistencies here, I got the feeling he was making it up as he went along. He has at his disposal a cast of brilliant British actors (And Anna Friel) and gets them to behave like ninnies for 100 minutes, with the odd nudie shot thrown in. In fact, I could just delete this whole review, and sum it up in two words: 'Pretentious Twaddle'. Now why didn't I think of that before... 3/10
