Good Dick (2008)
Not your typical romantic comedy. It’s shot like the viewer is actually observing the characters first hand. The dialog was real, the story original, and just completely strange situations (a good thing). No cliches here, just two socially awkward characters (with whom we never get their names) with rough pasts that we assume account for their behaviors. One of the best independent films I’ve seen. Also recommended: In Search of a Midnight Kiss.
Rating: 6 out of 7

The two versions of the film “Othello” were both very similar as far as the script goes, as both were very faithful to the play and the dialogue being almost identical in both of them. However, that is where the similarities with the two films stopped. Starting with the 1965 version directed by Stuart Burge

This film made me very uncomfortable and it was hard to watch but I couldn’t look away. It was very original but I’m not surprised that it is so unknown.
I don’t know why this was labeled a “sexy comedy”. It was not sexy and it most definitely not a comedy.

I agree. It was a bit of a dark comedy, but it certainly was no ‘sexy comedy’ haha. It was quite original, it’s a shame it doesn’t get more recognition. The two leads were exceptionally great!
