Audience Member Its probably OK to watch if you're of ya tits otherwise give it the flick... This started off average and went down hill from there. It had the capacity to be a good film, the acting was extremely good but the writer must have taken a trip mid way through the first 1/2 of the show. Portraying the 'gay' image of your personality as a walking, talking, rotting zombie like creature is just a tad bizarre and does nothing for the viewer to connect with whats going on. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 01/22/23 Full Review Audience Member What the... i'm suprised i sat through it. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 02/15/23 Full Review Audience Member An incredibly deep and profound film that suffers only from poor lighting, The Nature of Nicholas is one of the best Canadian films I have ever seen. Certainly not for everyone though as it is certainly high art, and is extremely slow-paced, it still stands above most others of this type, which are few and far between. If you are prepared to watch a film like you've never seen before then please give it a try if you can find it anywhere. Highly recommended. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/25/23 Full Review Audience Member Feelings and emotions manifest as metaphorical people in this surreal exploration of early teenage homosexuality. Unfortunately the movie is hampered by the slow pace, stilted dialogues, wooden acting and boring cinematography. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 02/13/23 Full Review Audience Member I really liked it. Interesting story, and very artful. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/03/23 Full Review Audience Member wow. very impressed. one of those brain fuck movies...surprisingly kinda scary.
