Mister Foe (2007)
The big, insurmountable problem with this movie is that the main character, the one that the audience is supposed to sympathize with and relate to, is a creepy voyeur who lusts after his stepmother. How are we as the viewers supposed to get the point where we care about this kid when he's sneaking around at night watching people through windows in their most intimate moments? It's disturbing and creepy and unsettling, which is a shame because all of the actors, including Ciaran Hinds, Sophia Myles, Jamie Bell, and Ewan Bremner, are completely wasted.
My Netflix rating: 2 stars
