Amazing!,
By Tome Keeper (UK) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Flower & Garnet (DVD)
This is a amazing film and an example of English-Canadian filmaking at it's best. A powerful story with great acting especially from Callum Kieth Rennie (Who is not know for these type of roles) and the young actor Colin who is the BEST young actor I have seen in a long time.The DVD is of great quality but it would be better with more special features. All in all 5/5 and a great buy if you like strong writing and acting.

This review is from: Flower & Garnet (DVD)
It is 08/25/07 and I have just finished watching "Flower and Garnet." It is an excellent film in every respect: script, direction, acting, the use of music - everything. It begins right off with both birth and burial. The loss of wife and mother in childbirth has profound consequences upon the grieving husband (Callum Keith Rennie), the young daughter, Flower, finding herself serving as mother to her baby brother, and the boy child, Garnet, who spends much of his childhood believing that somehow he caused his mother's death, his father's seeming rejection, and his sister's burden of being his substitute mother. When his sister becomes pregnant, Garnet is certain that this means that she will die. The child actor playing Garnet delivers a phenomenal performance. His depression born of fear and guilt is balanced by his father's grief and withdrawal of affection, with Flower caught in the middle. The contrasted facial expressons of father and son, each holding his true feelings within yet revealing them without words, are superbly acted and brilliantly caught by the director. I oversimplify: please consider seeing this film. It was filmed on location in a small town in British Columbia, so the scenic background adds a great deal to the emotional impact of the movie.
