Customer Reviews of The Man Without a Face [Region 2]
Heart Gripping Story Mel Gibson did an awesome job, as did Nick Stahl. The story line is heart gripping. You'll find your heart going out to both of the main characters that Mel and Nick play. I watch lots of movies, but am very selective as to which ones I'll actually purchase. This one definately made my "To Buy" List
instructive on many levels
I think this is quite a capable movie: I have a high opinion of it.

<
>In a spot-on performance, Gibson plays a disgraced and disfigured teacher who spends the summer mentoring a troubled boy.

<
>What I liked most about the movie was that, unlike the typical Hollywood treacle that I expected it to be, it didn't nicely patch things up for you at the end: you really were given no easy answers. This forces you to think about what you've seen and felt, meaning the film will elicit different things from different viewers.

>Yes, I couldn't believe my eyes when the filmmakers refused to wrap things up into one pat lesson.

>It was like watching a French film!
Worthy of far more attention than it gets
This is the one Mel Gibson film that hardly anyone talks about, and yet it is a magnificent work, one of the greatest-ever debuts for a director. I have seen it - I forget how many times - but it never loses its charm or its edge.
<
>Like Isabelle Holland's book on which it was based, it is a strong, poignant and excellently written coming-of-age story about a boy with a troubled family life, and yet it transcends its source material in so many ways.
<
>Unlike the book, it is a stunning indictment of the obsessions of our times, particularly the blindness of people who refuse to believe that adult-child relationships can be non-sexual.
<
>Poor Mel doesn't ever seem to win: everything he does is subjected to a barrage of criticism. But I am astounded that some people actually criticize the movie for not including a sexual encounter between Mel and Nick Stahl! Can you imagine the rage if he did include such a scene?
<
>There are so many tremendous scenes, such as the depiction of McLeod's attempt at a self-portrait, but my two favourite are the devastating final encounter between McLeod and Chuck, and the "not a trial" scene.
<
>And the ending is so much more satisfying than Holland's having McLeod die anonymously off stage.
