Wonderful character development!

It's fun, it's light, [but] it has a hard time when its tries to get heavy.

This is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.

This is a gorgeous movie made by a gorgeous spirit.

There are so many thrillers around nowadays but only few really can stand out. Flowerman is one of them. The start is very simple and peaceful as we see a happy middle-class British family and the mother of two sweet kids, Sarah, her daily routine and her work in the florists. But the moment we see one of her daily customers Nigel picking-up his flowers and seeing his eyes while saying "... you passed your test for the day, Sarah" the creepy feeling begins, and the story unfolds with lot of unexpected turns and twists. Without revealing the story any further I just want to add that the Flowerman surprised me a lot. It is really thought provoking, it has many layers and will stay in your mind for a long time.

This movie is set in the North of England. It tells us about a well balanced and loving family. They seem to have it all. Then they lost the mother who is taken. The man doing this was able to make it look like she had been having an affair. What fascinated me about it was that this was such a convincing tale told in such a way that there was no doubt as to the reality of the situation. He made it happen so easily that this should be as scary as hell, and it is for that reason. OK it is a well made movie and has tension and twists and all the things you may expect a successful movie to have. But the real scary bit is that this has happened and could happen again. There has been a high profile news story recently where the police gave up on the victim. The writers of this movie seemed to know a lot about the mindset of someone who could do such a thing. It shows how the man had power and that is what was so creepy and disturbing about it.

If you like movies with a solid plot and interesting characters that the filmmakers take time to develop, you should probably give this movie a watch. Unlike a lot of movies today, they take their time to form a plot and create real characters that you have feelings about and can relate to. This is lacking in so many movies made today that don't make an investment in their story and characters like this one does. There are also twists in the different perspectives they decide to explore. This isn't a one dimensional movie. What it is, is a really a fresh thriller. One that doesn't take the normal routes you've come to expect. Creepy and dark! This movie packs a good punch!

If you have seen the Lovely Bones this may remind you of it. It told the story of a spiritually pure and ideal family and their encounter with disturbing events that seemed to tear them apart. This was an unusual quality. It was simple but also sophisticated. It was certainly disturbing. It achieved this without horror – as in The Lovely Bones. It was because of this quality that the disturbing nature it makes and impression and the creepy quality of it was as good as any I have seen. One thing that it does is keep you guessing. The story is not predictable, far from it. It was well written, well directed and well acted and low budget. Don't let this fool you though. It does not have the cringe factor that can sometimes infect a low budget film. I think it is the sort of film that you will want to watch twice and be prepared to sleep with the light on!
