Angels Are So Few

About This Movie

Angels Are So Few has this raw, almost claustrophobic intensity that pulls you in right from the start. Tom Bell as Michael Biddle gives a performance that’s both haunting and childlike; it’s almost unsettling how he presents this 'angel' persona. Christine Hargreaves as Cynthia is equally compelling, her boredom and frustration simmering just beneath the surface. The pacing is deliberate, allowing the tension to build as their interactions become more layered. It's interesting how the TV movie format feels so intimate here, almost like a stage play. The themes of loneliness and desire weave through the narrative, leaving you with a lingering sense of unease. Definitely distinctive, even if it's not widely known.

Angels Are So Few is a bit of a rarity in the collector's market, primarily due to its television origins and limited release. It has circulated on a few formats but remains elusive, especially in good condition. Interest in the film has grown over the years, particularly among those who appreciate its unique narrative style and performances. This one’s not often discussed, making it a fascinating find for collectors focused on lesser-known television dramas.
