the night listener
I’ve said it before, and I’ll say it again – a movie with Robin Williams on the cast never sucks. I can’t decide whether I like his comedic or dramatic flicks most – I like’em all.
This particular piece is a dark, slow paced something in-between drama and low-key thriller, playing a gay and very toned down Williams as night radio host. As such, he starts to talk to a 14 year old fan over the phone. A fan with a story of abuse, interesting Williams’ character. Digging deeper, questions arise about whether the story is fact or fiction.
Flick is quite predictable, but you are still never certain how it will end. The Night Listener is one of those movies not needing an immense focus nor attention. Suitable for night screenings, and I for one would sure tune in the night show hosted by Williams’ character.
