Head Full of Honey (2018)

This doesn't work

[4/10 · 10 November 2021]

It attempts to be an Ealing comedy whist being serious It just doesn't work The cast who try their best with a very lose script that is on one hand schmaltz and the other hand confused Do their best But come across as wooden too Alzheimers is a very difficult subject to cover.

With a rewrite it could work. But the director has focus on what kind of a story to tell You could have pathos but you also need logos.

The Dead Don't Die (2019)

Odd

[7/10 · 26 June 2021]

I think this film had more potential to make a clever as well as witty statement.

But it died.

A cut above the rest

The Angriest Man in Brooklyn (2014)

Life death and moments

[10/10 · 11 June 2021]

A beautiful film.

Made far mor poignant by real life behind the scenes.

The Professor (I) (2018)

Sad. Funny. Very watchable

[8/10 · 11 June 2021]

I would recommend this movie.

It is full of pathos Depp plays it well It needs a little work on the script to explore a darker side of the main character That said, it takes a light hearted approach towards a heavy subject.

Bliss (I) (2021)

A Long Way Down (2014)

Difficult to review

[7/10 · 24 May 2021]

I tried to end my life several times so understand this subject.

In truth the road from that low point isn't always happy for many people the pain goes on So whilst I commend the idea of hope. It comes with a caveat that hope can be difficult to hold onto and sometimes happy endings don't happen

All we can do keep walking forwards and hope it doesn't lead us to the edge again.

Ideal Home (2018)

Beautiful film

[10/10 · 22 May 2021]

Love it Really touching.

Made me laugh and cry.

As a grandad who never gets to see my family who cast me away it really resonated with me.

Shirley (2020)

Pretentious twaddle

[2/10 · 14 May 2021]

Literally makes no sense whatsoever I am giving it two stars only because some of the music was a bit jolly.

Hearts in Atlantis (2001)

Sweet gentle and touching

[8/10 · 7 May 2021]

Lovely film.

Beautifully acted.

Could it have more depth? Maybe. But. Not every movie needs to be heavy.

My Octopus Teacher (2020)

A lesson in life

[10/10 · 6 May 2021]

A wonderful film. That is significantly important for today and tomorrow Essential viewing.

Beautifully made Can't commend it enough Watch this film if you care about our planet.

The Mauritanian (2021)

An incredibly important film

[10/10 · 3 May 2021]

As with so many countries.

Proof that corruption is endemic and goes to the top in the 'land of the free'.

Roald Dahl's Esio Trot (2015 TV Movie)

Beautiful.

[10/10 · 22 April 2021]

Beautiful Beautiful Beautiful A perfect story.

Watch it you won't regret it.

Hope Gap (2019)

Hanging on in quiet desperation is the English way The time is gone, the song is over

[8/10 · 29 March 2021]

The writer / director clearly has experience of the state death aka divorce.

No funerals. Nothing.

A great film. Well worth watching My only observation is that in real life, divorce is not clean cut and the rage, guilt and absolute destruction is felt by all.

In this movie there is only subdued rage - which I guess works where marriages are so traditionally British than going against "she who must be obeyed' is a no-no.

But at some point fuses must blow. If not, people would not be human.

I know of lots of divorce counsellors that urge wronged parties to be kind and remain as friends.

Sure that is a logical approach. But in so many cases partners are not logical kind or friendly. Most people hang on to marriage in fear of the unknown. I think that would have been an area worth exploring.

Richard Jewell (2019)

Brilliant

[9/10 · 16 April 2020]

Wow Another Clint Eastwood classic Beautiful film disturbing
