Description:
In this poignant, soul-searching drama, Pip Anders has just turned eighteen and finds himself estranged from his family and living homeless on the streets. As he attempts to sort out his young life with the help of a local priest (Alan Cumming), he listens to a tape left to him by his deceased grandfather Jason (voiced by Ian McKellen), telling of his own experiences at age eighteen trapped behind enemy lines in battle. Although decades apart, the two young men must face their difficult parallel lives, each on an uncertain journey of redemption and self-discovery.

It is rare that I would give an A rating to a movie with as much bad language and sex as there is in this movie, but in this case I think it amplifies the negative, which makes the positive seem all the more appealing. By reading the DVD case, many who hold to traditional values would conclude that this is a gayfriendly movie and pass it up. Indeed there is ample depiction of that lifestyle. However, it is in no way glamorized. In actuality, this movie emphasizes the sleaziness and dangers of ... Read More

The flashbacks to World War II are marred by melodrama and a musical score that suggests epic battle scenes. It is impossible to suspend one's disbelief. A half hour of this film was quite enough. Not recommended.

Pip is a street kind who meets life in the big city. In his eighteenth birthday, he receives his grandfather's memoirs from the Second World War on an audio cassette and discovers the remnants of a lost world. His grandfather relates ... Read More

Eighteen is one of those movies that wants to say something about every single provocative subject and also mean something to everyone. There's no doubt the film is an accomplished effort, but director Richard Bell packs so much into his one hour, forty-five minute film that the result is a cinematic experience that sort of over extends itself.
Consequently, Eighteen is all over the place, switching backwards and forwards in time and utilizing parallel narratives, which look like they ... Read More

This dramatic tale unfolds with an incoherant converstation at a dinner table where it can be assumed that one of the boys has just come out to his family. His father errupts in anger and then whisks the two boys off into his mini-van in the pouring rain only to have an accident that claimes the life of one of his sons. It is a dramatic introduction to the life of Pip, a runaway teen who picks up a couple of oddball friendships along his own path of growing up in hard times.
This film is drenched ... Read More
