Having squandered his stint in the spotlight on hard drugs and reckless sex, washed-up Hollywood has-been Joe Scott (Daniel Craig) reflects on the summer of innocence and tragedy that would alter the course of his life after receiving news that his childhood best friend has suddenly died. As he makes his way back to the quiet English seaside village of his childhood in order to attend the funeral, he finds his journey into the past becoming a journey of both redemption and self-discovery as well. Oliver Twist star Harry Eden plays the young version of Scott in a drama also featuring Olivia Williams, Claire Forlani, and Eve. ~ Jason Buchanan, All Movie Guide

Consuela Cosmetic spent most of his life trying to become a woman. He took hormones, wore make-up and feminine clothing and even had breast implants. But there was an appendage he refused to part with, and so forged a career as a living anomaly, half-man/half-woman. This documentary offers insight into the life of Consuela and other transsexuals in the attempt to clear up many misconceptions about them. In discussing his life and his career working as a nightclub act and hustler, Consuela, who died of AIDS while this film was in post-production, discusses the effects of the disease not only on the body, but on the spirit of himself and others like him. ~ Sandra Brennan, All Movie Guide
