If anyone was wondering what it’ll feel like in the future, when Vanity Fair’s ad pages contain short films on paper-thin screens rather than static images, the answer is: a lot what it feels like to watch A Single Man, which is obsessed with the styles and textures of the early 60s: the haircuts, the vending machines, the clocks, the wood-paneling at the bank. (Ford employs a palette of almost exclusively browns and grays, with some blacks and curdled greens.) I like an exquisitely aestheticized movie as much as the next guy, but Ford gets carried away here with the copious slow motion set to Haunting Strings. There’s an emphasis on the superficial here—making it the kind of movie that cuts a great trailer (see below)—that not even Firth’s layered performance can overcome.Keep reading my discussion with Benjamin Sutton at The L Magazine

A Single Man storyline is more than enough to take your breath away, it’s got some magnetic force that captivates you with immediate effect. If I was asked to rate this website and this movie, I would have given 10 out of 10 to both. So lift your leisure, download A Single Man movie, and rejoice the entertainment.
