Shoot, maybe good ol' Eddie Reddie really is a chameleon or something, and I'm not just saying that because his eyes are about as separated as this film, even though where Redmayne's eyes are physically separated, the dysfunctional family members featured in this drama are anything but 'physically' estranged, if you know what I mean, uh-huh, uh-ew.

I think that most of us can at least settle on the opinion that Redmayne and Moore are both still strange-looking people, unless, of course, you look at 'The Good Shepherd' and this film and realize that Redmayne must not be too unusual in appearance, seeing as how you can kind of see him as most anyone's kid.

The parts of Redmayne that you can't fully buy into as what you might expect from the baby of Matt Damon and Angelina Jolie are pretty much those of Moore, except Redmayne's still got those blasted big lips, and Moore doesn't have any at all. Oh yeah, schizophrenia, family dysfunction, incest and bisexuality, now that is some classy stuff right there, but I'm sure the filmmakers can make it all proper and whatnot, because they were at least intelligent enough to get Eddie Redmayne as Julianne Moore's son. Granted, the name was also adopted by some '80s metal band that is about as obscure, but that Savage Grace was power metal, so I reckon that means that you can be only so hardcore with this title before you have to get at least a little bit tasteful, as this film will also tell you. I love this film's title, because it pretty much tells you just how formal this 'sleazy' drama is going to be, seeing as how it is so intellectually ironic that it was once used as the name for some short-lived progressive rock band.
