On the Edge (DVD)

Academy Award? nominee* Stephen Rea stars in this edgy comedy about a young man who rediscovers friendship, love and the zest for life. Jonathan (Cillian Murphy), like many teenagers, is used to concealing the pain of growing up behind a witty sense of humour. One day fate brings Jonathan into contact with people who will change his life forever- a group of teenagers who are attempting to cope with their own teen angst and a doctor (Rea) who can see right through Jonathan's facade. But it isn't until he falls in love with Rachel (Tricia Vessey) that Jonathan begins to discover that life doesn't have to be so crazy after all...although it still helps to have a sense of humour about the wild things that happen in life!
