Accomplished character study with underdeveloped themes. Moore was astonishingly insufferable but I get the attention given to Colin Firth who's not just "better than usual", in fact doing an excellent job. His narration and acting is the film. The debuting director does showcase a considerable sense of style, in particular with several ultra-slow-mo shots which - together with the atmospheric score - reinforces the mood already established by Firth and let you share incidents with him.

Ford seems to struggle occasionally with the camerawork and editing yet the lucious art design and subtle direction signal the arrival of a grand visionary. From the fine performances to Korzeniowski/Umebayashi's breathtaking score - for which I sat through the end credits - nothing came off as superfluous in the end. Every element serves its purpose wisely to create an honest and profound piece of work.

13/03/10 - The stylisation sometime gets in the way of the film, but generally this is superb. Firth is heartbreaking, Hoult and Moore are both superbly desperate in their own way, and the whole thing has this wonderful intensity and amazing look and feel that carries you through wonderfully.

I liked this movie, but I was really, really pulling for the darker ending. You'll know what I mean when you see it. I felt kind of ripped off when the movie didn't deliver it to me. Otherwise, the visual style was quite strong and unique, and the acting was good all around. One sequence that stands out was the dinner scene between Colin Firth and Julianne Moore. At one point I teared up a bit. That sequence is fantastic, possibly the best part of the film.

I liked the style, the use of colors, the acting (Firth is exceptional) but some directorial choices felt unnecessary. Thin narrative means you have to get the most out of your shots. Ford milks it just that little bit too much.

The struggles aren't created out of nowhere, they naturally occur in the main character, George. A man whose concerns are covered carefully, rather than turning it into a life lesson, nhilistic or hopeful. Despite the emotional boundaries between the screen and the audience, the doubts contained in George's mind are universal. Avoids the stereotypes and occasional heavy-handedness of A Serious Man.

Gorgeous cinematography, great debut directing and a career-best performance by Colin Firth cannot completely save this film from it's fairly flat script and real lack of entertainment value. I kept waiting for a bit more profundity or something to tie my emotions to the main character's. Still, impressive.

Sumptuously stylish but story short on substance. Ford's debut mesmerises with its attention to detail, and even if the film is half made by the props and set department, his camerawork and editing is 90% well judged. Parts of it play like softcore homoerotic porn, but other scenes are slow and stilted. Overall nobody seems to know what Colin's destiny is supposed to be or where he will go next. Firth gets a credibility rebirth, and the support cast is spot-on. Reminded me of Death in Venice.

It seemed like a homosexual Alice in Wonderland. Falconer lets Jim lead him down the rabbit hole. He then wades through an intensely stylized world where he gets approached by bi-lingual male models and sought after by bisexual students. His escape from the Queen of Hearts, Charley, who just doesn't get his mind but wants his body..takes place in two ways; A tidy attempt at suicide via a very suggestive gun position and finally the only poetic way to escape the pain of lost love, a heart attack.

I'm not exactly a connaisseur of gay cinema, so I might be talking out of my ass when I say that 'A Single Man' is a refreshingly mature and intelligent drama about longing, mourning and the inhability to give in to desire. Like with 'Brokeback Mountain' the issue of homosexuality is suitably secondary. For the film geek it's noteworthy for the ingenius use of colorgrading, so simple and elegantly applied, that it's mindboggling that it hasn't been done before.

Subdued and with a quiet dignity that I really enjoyed. A basic story about loss and giving up that might have been done better by others (gave me some flashbacks to Le Feu Follet) but still has a lot of strong elements. The film looks great (with only some choppy editing to distract sometimes), and even though it was overdone I enjoyed the moments where color suddenly breaks through and offers a ray of positivity. Firth carries the film wonderfully.

Wow... Beautiful film! Very Wong Kar Wai slow motion, blended with multiple camera angles and a strong performance by Colin Firth guides you into the inner core of George's sadness. Such small details as a shift in colorgrading could seem irrelevant and overdoing it, but here it absolutely works to perfection! "And then it comes..."

What a gorgeous, gorgeous folly "A Single Man" is. Tom Ford, in spite of his first-timer awkwardness, has crafted this with such exquisite care. As a surface, the film is impossible to resist. But look out for scenes where people talk. And it's apparent that the kernel is hollow. Despite moments of inspiration and genuine beauty, as well as great performances from Firth and Moore, this is, ultimately, superficial. Although moving at times, there's not much essence beneath the shiny wrapping.

Ford impresses w/ crisply-realized images& metaphor (neither pretentiously opaque nor 2 heavy-handed) that convey the permanent outsider status of the lead, as well as an ever-present sense of despair. & while Firth is deserving of all the praise he's getting, Moore gives an equally bravura performance, almost 1-upping him as a divorcee unable 2 mask equally great depths of sadness & loneliness in drink and slightly-2-loud laughter. The score, all evocatively mournful strings, is also a stunner

This just in, gay people care about their partners too. In between plotting sessions for overthrowing Lord God's government. Also heterosexual relationships sometimes don't work out, and this is sad and to be commented upon. This film is beautiful looking but I couldn't help but not care. Maybe if I was gay I'd be more sensitive, and thus would enjoy a film about a guy who is sad and dies. That's all this film is.

Not exactly impressive plotwise but this introspective film is still worth watching if only for Colin Firth's outstanding, career-best performance (and also a great one from the always good and extremely talented Ms. Moore). The heartbreaking score also helped create that melancholic atmosphere needed for such a quiet film like this where nothing much happens but it just wasn't enough to really pull me into the story. Still, it's a good enough film about life and loss.

I enjoyed this movie, but it's slightly lacking in substance and Ford's rapid change of color tone to signify emotion is used as a crutch and ends up being disheartening to the overall good direction. In the end this movie failed at making me empathetic leaving only my imagination to create the sorrow I expected the main character felt.

Fine Colin Firth and Julianne Moore performances obscured by the ticks of a pretentious style, consisting--in this case--of obtrusive violins, a textbook-case use of a symbolic color palette ("He's experiencing real emotion! More red! More yellow!), and an over-reliance on symbol and close-up (e.g., large, ominous clocks). This bleak story has much feeling, some wit, and even a little humor, but--alas!--all is swept away in the pursuit of the grandeur of "Art". Read the book instead.

The visual style and use of colour in the film is spectacular and though this is Tom Ford's directorial debut his artistic talent is certainly evident. A film with this small of a cast hangs on the performance of it's lead and Colin Firth doesn't disappoint. He is a superb actor and ensures the film is genuine. Certainly A Single Man is a tragic film but throughout it is a message of hope.

Simply, breathtakingly and word-failingly beautiful that is all you need to know. It's easy to find something to say when a movie does something wrong, but often you find yourself choosing your words more carefully when it does pretty much everything right and then some. Ford has a designers eye for costume and design, an photographers view of visuals and an excellent eye for character. Hard to believe that this is a debut. Oh and Firth is pretty good too ... but you knew that.

One of my favorite traits about good films is when the technical works in tandem with the thematic. Tom Ford does that here, shifting the color palette to match Firth's (who is exceptional here) immediate emotional state. And the film's filled with great little things like this. This is a slight film that doesn't fall into needless melodrama or plot complications. It's a thoughtful, moving character study that's crafted with the utmost of care.

A mostly depressing movie about a gay man who has lost his lover. The subject matter is tiresome but the acting is mostly superb but frequently subdued. It is thought provoking, but not as entertaining as it could have been. The overall feeling I got from the movie was sadness and the ending was very poor. I liked the ageist themed discussions, but the story was just a little too morose and gloomy for me.

Imagine if Wong Kar-wai remade The Fire Within as an exquisite perfume commercial, but gayer. That is basically what this is. Exactly the sort of movie i'd expect from a fashion designer, which from me at least is a compliment. If "style over substance" is a negative trait to you than stay well away from this, but if you love gorgeous visuals and can tolerate a heightened, slightly stiltedly poetic tone than you should be in heaven.

This was on the verge of being a great film, but the ending is quite frustrating for me. I don't mind so much WHAT happens, but HOW... it comes off as much too contrived (perhaps it works better in the novel?). Also, there's a sudden fount of exposition which mars the protagonist's previously understated stoicism. I don't regret watching this, but it falls short of being generally recommendable.

What a gorgeous piece of film-making. Is there a woman more beautiful than Julianne Moore? The film is a serene and humble account of a man's final actions, the last choices that he makes in his life and the piece of mind he so longs to achieve at the shadow of his lover's death. A story about redemption with beautiful performances, score, camera work and montage filled with love and passion and intimacy, resulting in a piece of art which reinforces all the good reasons of why cinema is great.

Firth's exceptional performance is the anchor for this emotional drama, which unfortunately is too ambitious in its juggling of various characters and themes. The comparably brief running time means that story threads and characters are left dangling, which is a shame as an exceptional cast struggles to being life and credibility to them. Direction is also too self-conscious and pretentiously 'arty' at times, which results in an ocassional sense of disconnect. Worth your time for Firth.

I have always found that an esthetically pleasing movie appeals better to me emotionally. "A Single Man" is doubtlessly easy on the eye, but there is also a well told story about loss and the pain of having to conceal your identity. Sometimes the visuals work for the story, sometimes they are just there on their own merit, but they consistently lift the viewing experience.

I can't express the sort of experience I had with A Single Man very well. Suffice it to say that's what it is: closer to an experience than a viewing. It's a gorgeously riveting film - only a few times a little overdone - that relies completely on Colin Firth, who demonstrates not only can he carry a film of such emotional weight, he can be the reason it transcends melodrama. In other words, the film is good, but with Firth in every scene, the film is fantastic.

A stylish and well-acted debut from Ford. On the wrong day, I might not be as enthused with the story, but that wasn't the case at this particular time. Firth gives a good performance, and I'm always a fan of Moore (even if her accent isn't great). I also thought the score was excellent. I won't call it amazing, but it is above average and has me excited to see what Ford does with his follow-up.

Wonderfully lush film so happy I viewed it. All the principles were incredible. Nicholas Hoult really served as excellent icing on a delicious cake. Has Tom Ford directed anything since?

Debuten til Tom Ford, tidligere motemann og reklameskaper. Helt nydelig filmet med god bruk av farger som i en og samme scene kan gå fra svært varmt til helt iskaldt basert på følelseslivet til hovedpersonen. En av de mindre dramatiske selvmordsfilmene jeg har sett, noe som passer den godt. Julianne Moore er også som alltid god, og den tidvis melodramatiske skuespillerteknikken hennes fungerer overraskende godt til figuren hun portretterer. Skal lese boka i nær fremtid for å se hvordan den er.

Superb, harrowing character study by an actor who had never particularly impressed me prior to this -- sadly, Ford's posy direction is entirely unstable for the material, and Julianne Moore is miscast.

What a remarkable film. It is not often that a new director, with his own ideas, couples a simply brilliant performance (Firth) with an impressive script, and comes up with something fresh, emotional and truly "breath holdingly" awkward, as it is meant to be. ASM is a study of the times, where homosexuality was "there, but not recognised as valid" (eg: telephone call with relative / conversation with Charlie), and where despair, a feeling of "difference" and awkwardness pervades everything.

Colin Firth is great in this role, but the artsy cinematography stuff gets very distracting for me.

Beautiful film. My only complaint is that at points it is too beautiful and starts to remind one of perfume adverts.

All I knew going into this was that it starred Colin Firth. I had a vague notion that it might be some kind of romantic melodrama, probably just because of the title. Instead, it's a sort of existential character study, a bit like American Beauty, but not as smug or trite. Very good performance by Firth, although Julianne Moore was a letdown. And her British accent is pretty bad. A thoughtful movie with a nice subtlety to it, and I appreciated its unfussy handling of sexuality.

Undeniably beautiful to look at, although there are a few too many lingering shots for my liking. Small intimate stories like this live or die by the quality of the performances, and...well, it's Colin Firth. He's superb as always, as is Moore and the small supporting cast. There isn't much to the story, but it's delivered so well that it never becomes boring. Was surprised to learn it was the director's debut as it's delivered with such style and confidence.

En snygg och välgjord film med snygg skildring av såväl tid (Kubakris)som miljö. Colin Firth övertygar i sin huvudroll som en mycket brittisk litteraturvetenskapsprofessor på ett mindre universitet i Kalifornien och bär hela filmen på sina axlar. Den yttre handlingen är en smula tunn och rymmer inte så mycket av dramaturgisk utveckling även om slutet har sina poänger. Betyget blir en svag fyra.

Overall Enjoyment: 25/40, Plot/Themes: 10/20, Cinematography/Direction: 10/20, Acting/Writing: 15/20 A sad but interesting movie. Definitely worth watching through once, but it got a little too strange for me at times, and I'm still not sure where they were going with some aspects of the plot.

Plenty of gay snobbish pretentiousness (I'm saying this in a best way possible) and style, but not enough substance. Colin Firth's performance is one to see. This film leaves emotional impact mixed with feeling of dissatisfaction. I might as well be misunderstanding the message of the film, or maybe I just don't like it.

"In A Single Man, his debut effort as film director, fashion designer Tom Ford seems determined to err not on the side of caution, but on that of aesthetic overload instead." - Andrew Schenker
