I loved this film and I wanted to see it again but it seems that less than two weeks after it's release date it is not on in any cinema in London. Why is it that in a 'free market democracy' where we are supposed to have so much 'choice' the film industry seems to be dominated by an almost unmitigated stream of commercial dross but a cinematic gem like 'Tony' is given only the most cursory amount of exposure? If you get the chance to see this film then go - it's refreshingly original, deftly shot, moving and funny. The unknown lead actor (thank God - more please) Peter Ferdinando, gives a brilliantly honed understated and highly distinctive performance as the misfit who peculiarly manages to evoke sympathy, repulsion and alarm in equal measure. The dialogue is sharp, unpredictable and witty and the film has a human pace that allows space to breath, look and think about the strange assembly of London life that is so skilfully invoked; something that so many films today lack. To my mind it worked subtly on many levels, not least as an astute social satire of the sorry state of British 'culture' today. Loved it, loved it, loved it!
