15th October 2019 by Sarah Leave a Comment

A young boy in Hitler’s army finds out his mother is hiding a Jewish girl in their home. JoJo Rabbit works nearly all of the time, which for a comedy about the friendship between a small boy in the Hitler Youth and a Jewish girl, and with a buffoonish Hitler as an imaginary father figure, is… JoJo Rabbit (London Film Festival 2019) Read More

Little Monsters (London Film Festival 2019) 3 stars☆☆☆☆☆

12th October 2019 by Sarah Leave a Comment

Little Monsters is a great advert for teacher excellence, if not much of a recruiting tool – as multi-talented kindergarten teacher Miss Caroline has to save her class of small charges as they face down an attempted zombie apocalypse. I  say attempted; it does feel a little half-hearted, as the world’s slowest undead hordes stagger round… Little Monsters (London Film Festival 2019) Read More

Good Heart – kids’ review! (short film – London Film Festival 2019) Short Film 4.5 stars☆☆☆☆☆

7th October 2019 by Cassian Leave a Comment

At the start I didn’t understand what was happening but then I realised. The pictures look like they’ve been drawn with crayons. It’s from Russia but it doesn’t matter because the family in it just grunt. There is a family of Stone Age people and when the boy goes to collect apples he comes back… Good Heart – kids’ review!

Jerich0 – kids’ review! (short film – London Film Festival 2019) Short Film 5 stars☆☆☆☆☆

6th October 2019 by Cassian Leave a Comment

This is my favourite of all the short films I’ve watched this week. It’s about a robot lizard and it’s only one minute long. When I heard “Jericho” I thought that sounds like a lovely name and I think the lizard might be called Jericho.  It starts off not much sad. The robot lizard crawls… Jerich0 – kids’ review!

The Penguin Who Couldn’t Swim – kids’ review! (short film – London Film Festival 2019) Short Film 4 stars☆☆☆☆☆

6th October 2019 by Cassian 1 Comment

This film is five and a half minutes long. There’s a penguin who can’t swim because he has a short wing. Nobody speaks but that doesn’t matter. There isn’t much detail in their faces. Sometimes you can only see their eyes but you can still tell how they are feeling. He watches his friends swimming… The Penguin Who Couldn’t Swim – kids’ review!
