Thewlis makes this just so perfect. A consuming and cathartic performance to experience.

a character study of a rational madman whose only response is to destroy in a irrational world. great film

Maybe the best dialogued movie ever? It compares to a Dostoievski book in it's philosophy and in it's poetry. I think that might become one of my absolute favorite.

A remarkable dedication to character prevents this film from falling into the trappings that so many directors fall victim to. It's rare to come across something this disturbing and yet so truly heartbreaking.

Wonky, grievous, thistly, farcical. I've seen it twice within 24 hours now and it's hideously engaging. Linklater and Leigh simply outdid Altman in the same year.

This is one of the most emotionally brutal movies I've ever seen. Is this the underbelly of a city? Johnny declares,"Anywhere you are in London, thirty feet below you are rats." Even primal instincts are more sinister in this film. A bleak, hopeless, excruciatingly honest portrait of fleeting humanity and our place in the universe. "What if God just put us here for his own entertainment?" Mike Leigh is a powerhouse.

Want to say something intelligent, but just can't. Saw it a week ago, still thinking about it. David Thewlis' role = one of the best performances I've ever seen.

Flashes of brilliance (The scene with the night watchman is one of the best things I've ever seen) mixed in with some of the most irritating shit ever committed to celluloid.

Completely Brilliant from start to finish. Thewlis is masterful in his performance, as is Leigh in his direction.

Mike Leigh, if any more of your films are as good as Naked, your filmography and I will be friends for a long time.

Depressing in ways that few movies even dare to dream of, but because of Mike Leigh's work as a director and a remarkable cast, you can't look away for a second.

Thewlis as Johnny is downright amazing in this film! What a bleak, brilliant study of troubled individual in a troubled society. Loved it!

One of my most loved films for this simple reason: David Thewlis' portrayal of Johnny. He's conflicted, intelligent, frustrated, funny, always up for a discussion-cum-rant, will do and say just about anything because there's no filter between his brain and his mouth and is endlessly, insatiably curious in the worst way. You can't love him, won't cry for him but still stay intrigued till the end.

Suppose Johnny'd scored some A-levels? Although, a certain kind of shiftless (shit-filled?) idling might better-lend itself to peripatetic epigrams. My many misgivings aside, 'Naked' figures aptly into the prefigured pattern of historic imaginings of the Angry Young Men and Stiff Upper Lip crowd. Too ad-bourgeois for me, but I'd recommend it as a somewhat interest-piquing museum-piece today.

“I have chronic systolic palpitation and acute fucking neuralgia, what about this toilets, can I smoke in here?… No you fucking can’t” // Considerada por muchos como de lo mas destacado de la década de los 90s, esta cinta, se mueve alrededor y depende en gran parte de un articulado y extrovertido canalla poseedor de un parloteo incesante que escupe a diestra y siniestra comentarios tan corrosivos como hilarantes. Este se topa con varios personajes (la dulce exnovia, su sádica roommate, el mitómano metrosexual, el filósofo-velador y el involuntariamente comiquísimo joven escocés que no se le entiende ni pito) alienados todos de una u otra forma, que podrían caer como ejemplos de vergüenzas sociales, con todos mantiene relaciones irracionales rompiendo y desviando cualquier expectativa convencional de una nueva relación. Profetizando y refiriendo frecuentemente al “eslabón perdido”, La Odisea, La Biblia y a Nostradamus obvia la cantidad de mierda filosófica encerrada en su apocalíptico cerebro. Es una cinta seriamente hilarante donde las mascaras las usan los mas débiles.
