Treacle Jr.

An almost unnaturally happy mentally retarded man and a chronically depressed husband-on-the-run navigate a rough London in this touching and funny indie tale. Aidan Gillen makes you believe he is this hyperactive but ultimately lovable character, while Tom Fisher and Riann Steele back him up nicely. And boy, that Linda was a piece of work.

James

Compelling short film benefits from a sympathetic lead and incisive writing. Moving and so much better than some of the multi-million dollar productions.

Ben X (2007)

Good portrayal of Asperger's with a contrived ending. Further evidence that bullying is not only mean, it's potentially dangerous.

Spider (2002)

Creepy drama about a Schizophrenic with a major Oedipal Complex evaluating his childhood. Gothic atmosphere, great subtle performance from Raplh Fiennes. Recalls films such as "The Living and the Dead" and "The Butcher Boy." Sports a twist that seems easy in retrospect but you don't see coming.

Antibodies (2005)

Although many viewers probably won't like the dramatic, symbolism-laden ending, I thought "Antibodies" was an excellent serial killer thriller, more complex in some ways than "The Silence of the Lambs." A perverted child killer forces a Christian cop to get in touch with is 'dark side,' with unpleasant results- meanwhile the cop's son is doing a little getting in touch of his own. Prepare for multiple disturbing scenes involving animals.

Citadel (2013)

Despite generally bad reviews, "Citadel" provides creepy atmosphere while delivering a surprisingly good portrayal of mental illness. A low-budget project that nonetheless delivers.

Buddy Boy (2000)

Aidan Gillen plays a stuttering, religious voyeur in this very 'indie' indie where nothing is what it seems. Littered with sad, campy, and funny moments, "Buddy Boy" is a true original with underrated substance.

Bernie (1996)...

The anti-Hollywood film about a slow-witted man looking for his family, this dark, dark comedy takes the premise to sadistic extremes, adding up to a film that would never be made in America. Sometimes in poor taste, but often funny and littered with good shots.

Twin Falls Idaho (1999)...

Conjoined twins and a hooker. That's pretty much all you need to know about this strange, sad film, given top marks by Ebert upon it's release. Haunting in a way you can't quite explain.
