Shallow Grave (1995)

Critique of Danny Boyle's First Feature!

By Paul StewartPublished 2 years ago 1 min read

Danny Boyle's debut film, starring Ewan McGregor, Christopher Eccleston, Kerry Fox and Keith Allen, raises a morale dilemma. What would you do if you found a suitcase with £1m alongside your dead lodger. I'm guessing it wouldn't be to cut him up and bury him, then fight with each other.

    Danny Boyle is ace. Another funny critique. 😁 I know of the film, but haven’t seen his debut!

    Why, no that would not be my first thought... This movie sounds so fun! I'm getting "Death at a Funeral" vibes, perhaps? Gosh, I didn't even recognize Eccleston until I read the review! Wow...he looks so different in every picture I see of him, lol. So used to the black leather jacket...

  • Great review. But did you mean to say "morale" rather than "moral"? I will grant that finding such a bag could quite reasonably affect morale, both up & down, but is that what you intended?
