LouHomey From my favorite movies..

Arianna Moses Let me be very fair here, this is not the best movie in my opinion. But, this movie is fun, it has purpose and is very enjoyable to watch.

Juana what a terribly boring film. I'm sorry but this is absolutely not deserving of best picture and will be forgotten quickly. Entertaining and engaging cinema? No. Nothing performances with flat faces and mistaking silence for subtlety.

Fleur Actress is magnificent and exudes a hypnotic screen presence in this affecting drama.

anthonybratchet Its the great Mr Peg I thought this will be a good laugh wow was I wrong didn't expect this complete change in his style of film from a great British light quirky film to a complete horror it really did scare me such intense acting almost gritty. its a fantastic vision of fear. This is real acting sort of classic British theatre. Its colourful interesting what true film awards are made for. Its easily his best bit of work, its almost artistic. I actually regretted previously thinking he was a 1 character actor really did put me on a back foot. One of the best films I've seen in years.

Paul Magne Haakonsen This movie caught my attention given the synopsis and because Simon Pegg starred in it. So it was with some anticipation and expectation that I sat down to watch "A Fantastic Fear of Everything".And let me just say that the movie didn't disappoint. It was every bit as odd and quirky as I had anticipated. The comedy was abundant, although it was dark and twisted, not the type of comedy that makes you laugh most of the time though. It should also be said that given the movie's odd nature and surreal extremity, then it is hardly a movie that will appeal to everyone. No, this is definitely not a mainstream comedy movie.It was the wonderfully bizarre storyline and Simon Pegg's ability to immerse himself into the odd character that made the movie what it was. You will either love the story or hate it, as it is that extreme. And don't expect a movie in the likes of "Shaun of the Dead" or "Hot Fuzz", because the movie doesn't have that mass audience appeal.I loved the absurdity of the character and all his fears, and Simon Pegg really performed superbly in this particular role. If you enjoy Simon Pegg movies then you should take the time to sit down and watch "A Fantastic Fear of Everything".As I mentioned earlier, do take into consideration that the absurdity of this movie might put you off, but at least give it a chance and watch it.

Critic Breeki I am a very big fan of Simon Pegg, (Shaun of the Dead, Hot Fuzz, Worlds End and Paul). A Fantastic Fear of Everything is not Pegg's best work, but still a rather enjoyable film that I found hilarious (The best was probably PC Taser playing 'Final Countdown' near the end).A Fantastic Fear of Everything is one of those films that you just need to sit back, watch, and just enjoy the film for what it is. I have only watched it once, and, truth be told, it will probably stay that way.There isn't really much else to say about this film. It is basically a Comedy/Thriller about a guy scared to go outside because he thinks he is going to be murdered. Just watch it.

Kyle Gnarly I decided to approach this film with zero background knowledge of its contents; sure, Simon Pegg standing with a knife in his underwear may detract some weirdos, but let them go watch Twilight and Scandal. This movie jumped off the screen immediately, and it does not take long for the audience to become acclimated with the antagonist's lifestyle--even his disgusting underwear habits, which many of us writers...know.What makes this film so great is how it weaves through the main characters complexities in life in such a way that the audience can easily become lost if their eyes leave the screen for just a second--he's a writer, a divorced man, paranoid, delusion, and, against his will, a dreamer. I found myself unable to even blink at times because, aside from the main character's persona matching that of my own, the shots are so well done; it's quite a shock that the director has done so little. Visually, this film's set ranks up their with some of the best in my opinion--namely the apartment he holes himself up in. At times, you yourself feel as if you are a child facing your own fears; I was frequently brought back to running up the stairs after clicking out the lights downstairs because, clearly, the shadows were going to attack me. These, among so many others, are the sort of nostalgic feelings this films provides for its viewers; that alone is worth the walk, albeit a creepy one, down memory lane.That said, I can see why some folks would be a bit upset with the progression of events as the story's momentum becomes a bit muddled toward the end, but I actually enjoy structure like this because it offers the possibility for interpretation. The essence of the film here is not what the audience sees on the screen; instead, the entire story plays out through moving imagery to identify the inner workings of a writer's mind, narrating this paranoia with the inner vocalizations that could be the possible cause for much of our antagonist's woes.Incredibly well done. This is one of the few films that I kick myself for not seeing for so long. If you are a writer, of any capacity, this acts as the closest representation of the pressure, internalized conflict, and motivational issues we all face when completing projects. Stop reading and go watch this--immediately.
