Last night, I also watched Skeletons (2010) on DVD and loved it. I'd heard good things about this film when it was out in the cinema (on the art-house circuit) but never made enough of a push to go see it. Shame, because if more of us had gone to see it, more people might have heard of it.
It's a really hard film to classify. It's eccentric, funny, heartfelt and a bit disturbing. The double act of Davis and Bennett (except they're not a double act, they're two guys who have long worked together) help exorcise the skeletons from people's closets (it makes beautiful sense in the film). And there's this one job, see...
Oh, try to see it. It's well-acted, beautifully shot, well-written and directed by Nick 'I want to see what he comes up with next' Whitfield. If you find the fact that one of the deleted scenes is entitled 'Cat-Faced Ladies of the 1940s' intriguing, it'll be right up your street.
