"I used to be a werewolf, but I'm all right no-OOWWWWWWWWWW!".

Imagine 'A Clockwork Orange', but if Mike Leigh directed it.

David Thewlis performance as Johnny is absolutely mind blowing and pure genius. One of the all time best. A despicable, yet care-free man that uses his intelligence to distracts you from how rotten he truly is.

'Naked' doesn't shy away from presenting it's razor-sharp commentary on assault and rape, but will be hard for some to stomach. The script is fantastic with two stellar performances from Lesley Sharp and Katrin Cartlidge, and Leigh finest work.

Interesting character study that explores toxic masculinity (Jonny, Jeremy, Archie), and various self destructive / unproductive coping strategies that are touched by it (every other character). There's no real plot or character development, it's more a series of vignettes that illuminate something about human nature centered around Jonny's aimless wandering around London.

Outstanding performance from Thewlis

The protagonist is a cross between John Lennon and Socrates.

Witty, cutting, sarcastic dialogue. Sleazy characters. David Thewlis is as great as ever. Mike Leigh shows how the world is full of lonely, desperate people. I enjoyed seeing Johnny's interaction with different members of society. It felt like a Todd Solondz / Jim Jarmusch mash up in that respect. But it also delves deeper into the dark side of society and male / female relations. Whether you like the characters or not, it's very interesting film-making.

Good enough if you like retro character driven movies, driven by witty scripts, depicting the 90s from two extremes (the desperate homeless guy with a range of social issues, and the banker who looks to have modelled half his personality from reruns of American Psycho) interacting in post Thatcherite London. But I imagine that for anyone born post 1990, this will all be a bit meaningless....
