Hallam Foe

Even he was being strange, had some charming attitude. So good cast and so good storytelling

I really liked the camera used in the movie. Because the angles and small details are captured very well.

Such a beautiful movie I can’t stop thinking about this

'Hallam Foe' solely depends on the performance of Jamie Bell as the title character and boy does he deliver. As an audience, you are watching a teen growing up in the shadow of his mother's death which causes him to withdraw within himself and create somewhat disturbing fantasies. Hallam Foe even finds his stepmother (Claire Forlani) attractive but changes his mind after he accuses her of killing his mother. Foe is forced to go to Edinburgh in order to make a life for himself. As he pounces from rooftop to rooftop, he notices a woman named Kate (Sophia Mules) who is the spitting image of his late mother. Foe does everything he can to get closer to Kate and in doing so discovers a lot about himself and the truth of his fantasies. As was mentioned, Jamie Bell is terrific. You cannot sympathize for him at the beginning then he gives you moments of less creepy vulnerability that makes you feel sorry for him. I do like the tone and styling this movie takes but the drama sometimes takes a "that escalated quickly" turn. This does not help the film turn into a very good or excellent film but because of Bell's performance, beautifully shot Edinburgh, the nervous sexual tension between Hallam and Kate (played well by Myles), and a nice soundtrack among other things, 'Hallam Foe' manages to still entrance despite its oversteps.

Quirky film about a weirdo voyeur and his complex love for his mother.

Interesting, comic, uplifting and brilliant.

Hallem is one creepy guy.

Mister Foe is uneven and slow but if you can stomach the indie-ness of it, it's a worthwhile coming-of-age tale. Jamie Bell proves to be a growing actor in this Oedipal shoegazer. Nothing remarkable here; just a solid little Scottish film with some heart.

Sensitively crafted film about coming to terms with a tragedy while growing up...

Enjoyable but not a film that stayed long with me afterwards if you know what I mean. Every character in the film is slimey in some way, which I would sometimes welcome, but this time it didnt have a positive effect on the experience.
