  • A Single Man is beautifully filmed. In fact, it's so close to sheer cinematic beauty that it's like watching art. The colour palette was great, contrasting the greyscale with some scenes in bright colours. Colin Firth once again brings his A game and the plot is quite touching in places. My major problem, is that the story and script isn't that actually compelling. It's a case of style over hardly any substance, which is a shame. Tom Ford definitely entered the film world with a great debut, but it just doesn't reach the heights that it thinks it does.
