A really unsettling film to watch but what an incredible performance by Ralph Fiennes.

I've just added it to my Blockbuster home movie que, it sounds good. The more disturbing the better!

Let me know what you think of it, Kevin. I recorded it from Film4 a week or so ago and watched it today.

I saw "Spider" when it first came out and I remember enjoying it although I can't remember specifics at this point. Any movie with both Ralph Fiennes & Gabriel Byrne has to be a winner!

Ok, strictly speaking in terms of actor performance I'd say that all of the actors are very good in this film. Maranda Richardson was great as was Ralph. I think the movie was well done and the actors were great given the financial problems it had.

I will say that because the story is such a subjective portrayal of the main characters illness that I personally feel the film lacked a satisfying climax.

In regards to Ralph, yes he did a fantastic job and so long as we're giving honorable mentions Maranda's performance(s) are not to be left unspoken.
