Withnail and I
Directed by Bruce RobinsonTwo out-of-work actors -- the anxious, luckless Marwood and his acerbic, alcoholic friend, Withnail -- spend their days drifting between their squalid flat, the unemployment office and the pub. When they take a holiday "by mistake" at the country house of Withnail's flamboyantly gay uncle, Monty, they encounter the unpleasant side of the English countryside: tedium, terrifying locals and torrential rain.

- cultfilmlikerJune 10, 2025Ugh, actors Ngl I didn’t understand a lot of the Shakespearean (read: over my head) symbolism and poetics! Not the references for that matter! Sorry! Wild watching Mr. Dursley basically play Mr. Dursley 15 years before he was offered the role. But you know more overtly gay and creepy Great soundtrack! Not my bag of a film! Reminds me of The Graduate??? Didn’t mind the plot or themes but I honestly couldn’t get into the “witty” dialogue.
- Rowan KrzysiakJanuary 11, 2025A film with a cult following but one to me that feels largely pointless. Nothing feels poignant with characters that seem to want to forget themselves and each other. Some are able to pull the charm from it, I was not.
