Is Anyone There? (3.0/5)
Palace Cinema, Centro, New Farm, Brisbane
10th June 2009
(Director: John Crowley, Cast: Michael Caine, Bill Milner)
Michael Caine has played the same crusty character in many a film, it’s aged with him and he plays it very well. Caine’s retired magician befriends the retirement homes owner’s young son. Together they ponder death – the magician’s own and the boy’s morbid fascination. A typically English tragic-comedy - a lightish though nonetheless moving story. Caine gives a fine performance, well in contact with the final days of his character.
