What I meant was her presence reminded me of Savage Grace, a piece of gay cinema that I felt was a bit too campy and shrill. What I should have added is, I hope A Single Man avoids that. Another thing that struck me from your comment - is Mamma Mia a "gay film"? As far as I can tell it has a large gay following, but does that make it gay cinema? I've not seen it.

Bit of a weird comment. Might as well have said "The presence of Colin Firth also invites comparisons with the hysterical camp of 2008’s Mamma Mia!." for all the relevance it has.

I have noticed that often trailers with huge buzz are often done to distract from the fact that the film is a bit pants. Here's hoping this one is a good as the trailer makes it look. Oh and whoever designed the poster needs to be throughly ashamed of themselves... <a href="http://incontention.com/?p=16811" target="_blank">http://incontention.com/?p=16811</a> That trailer is kinda interesting but going to reserve judgement until I see more.
