Synopsis

A quirky 'love' story between a very-pierced 17 year old goth girl and a 49 year old haberdasher, and how they come to change one another's lives. Albert Brooks (BROADCAST NEWS) plays the middle-aged man to Leelee Sobieski's troubled teenager.

5.0 out of 5 stars The most moving film I have seen this year, 31 Mar 2004
By Claire (Cannock, Staffs) - See all my reviews
At the beginning it's not clear what the film is about, with the main character J having bizarre visions and flashbacks. I thought it would be one of those movies that spends it's time trying to be surreal and going nowhere. But as the story develops it becomes a touching tale of an unusual friendship. By the end I had tears pouring down my face. I loved it.

5.0 out of 5 stars Pleasant, 8 Oct 2009
By L. B. O. (Barcelona, Spain) - See all my reviews
Very watchable film with excelent performances. Pity there are no more films of this type (unusual and pleasant story, well acted and directed).

3.0 out of 5 stars Moving film that may just surprise you, 19 Aug 2008
By J. A. Walls "jamwalls" (Richmond Upon Thames) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)      
You really don't know what this movie is going to be about even after reading the synopsis, but essentially it's about friendship and the need for it.

The two leads are such different characters (young female goth, older sensible male shop owner) that they have nothing in common, but each sees in each other the need for companionship and a sense of belonging. The young lady occasionaly confuses this with sex, and thinks that she needs this from the older character but of course she doesn't, she is just identifying a different need.

There are a few twists and turns along the way, but to be honest nothing which will make you do a double take at the TV screen.
This is one of those films that you will really enjoy, but no-one else will ever have heard off.

Risk it and watch it, you'll be pleased you did
