I cannot understand why...


I just can't understand why Eddie Marsan has received so little recognition over this film - easily one of the best pieces of acting I've seen in a long time. Such an odd character, but so realistic, and so...sad...

I totally agree with you. it is kind of sad that he wasn't given as much credit as he deserves. i thought that his and poppy's dialogues were some of the strongest i have seen in films in a while. just the timing and intensity, it pops out. and i completely agree about how odd and sad and conflicted he is..

I agree, he is extraodinary, but... very uncharismatic. Tough for him...
