  • Teddy Bear 2012

    ★★★½ Watched 04 May, 2013

    The gentle story of a Danish body builder who, after advice from a relative, goes to Thailand to meet a girl.

Superb performances from both, along with the supporting cast, particularly Richard Glover as Carapod inventor Martin, and Smurf as Poppy / Banjo ;)

    Special mention as well to Director Ben Wheatley's DoP Laurie Rose who makes England look magnificent.…
