While Tom Ford deserves some praise, I thought the movie was made by Firth's performance. Where the cinematography was occasionally heavy-handed, Firth was subtle and complex. It could have been shot on a Flip Video camera, and Colin Firth would have made it a compelling movie.

Just some tittering over the fact that he did some nude shots. Funny, I remember Colin Firth being interviewed on the Daily Show, and I have no recollection of this movie’s theme being discussed.
