Where to Watch The Crying Game
- stuhannaford30 juli 2025More than a little ahead of its time. Unfortunately shows it’s age a little, especially the opening part of the story, which has an almost romantic feel, acting and score, which flies in the face of the subject matter and tone of the time. Whitaker is less than convincing in his role, which is unusual, but this simply sets the scene for the main story. Sadly, the twist is well known, so the surprise element is unlikely to hit with most newer viewers. However, that aside, it’s incredibly well acted and believable. Had it been made today, it may well have been over done from a social point of view, and so the turmoil and questions Fergus faces feel much more honest than a modern script might offer. Quite a debut, and incredible to think only two more films appeared on Davidson’s resume following this.
