Naked

Director Mike Leigh whips up yet another affecting ensemble drama in Naked, a film anchored by Johnny (David Thewlis), a self-confessed lost boy who heads for the big-city grit and glamour of London to escape the repercussions of his most recent misstep (the sexual assault of a young woman). But a fresh start isn't meant to be, as Johnny runs into an old love (Lesley Sharp) and carouses with others gone astray.

Naked is definitely not for everybody. If you are offended by cinematic violence against women or think they should put subtitles on a movie where the spoken language is English, don't watch this film. You will hate it. Yes, there is violence against women. Yes, some of the accents are a little hard to understand, especially Ewen Bremner. David Thewles is more antagonist than protagonist. There is nothing redeeming or nice about him. In fact, there are no completely innocent characters in this film. Everyone is guilty of something. However, if not likable characters, they are utterly fascinating. You can't help but watch. Largely ignored when it was released, I originally saw this movie in the theater. It was my introduction to David Thewlis and I immediately took notice. His cunning wit and razor-sharp social commentary make this film worth seeing.
