Plot:
After losing his daughter in a Port Authority bus terminal, distraught New York father William Keane (Damian Lewis) befriends Lynn Bedik (Amy Ryan) and her 7-year-old daughter, Kira (Abigail Breslin) ...( read more

Another low-key, character driven masterpiece from the director of CLEAN/SHAVEN. The performances are fantastic, and out of the three leads it's hard to choose who does the best. Both Amy Ryan and Abigail Breslin (a contender with Jodelle Ferland for the best current child actor) are superb, creating incredibly real characters. But Damian Lewis probably steals the show with his fascinasting portrayal of the deeply disturbed title character.
The fact that KEANE leaves many questions unanswered and moves at such a slow pace may turn off some viewers, but those who stick with it will be rewarded.
Depressing and very deep character study. Outstanding and very emotional independent film.
81/100
This movie was shot in 32 days for less than $1,000,000. The film is about a search for family, belonging, and the overwhelming need for human connection.
Disturbing from the beginning till the last second, you feel that you can't just stay and watch you have to go into it. You don't know if you have to save this girl or this man. Damian Lewis give us a tremendous performance, the ambiguity of his character, the way he is down but still falling touches you, not only because deep misery concerns us all but also because it shows our impossibility to trust people nowadays because we can't trust ourselves. No music even for the credits, no artificial steady cam, permanent close-ups, heavy ambiance, loud breathing, thanks again to Lodge Kerrigan to being able to do this pure cinema, again.
The handheld close-ups make it so claustrophobic and scary but OH GOD Damian Lewis was BRILLIANT. I wasn't going to watch the film again but I heard that the DVD has 2 different cuts and now I want it.
