Warning: very spoilery about the birds and the bees. (If you’re looking for my review, it’s here.) So have you worked it out yet? Maybe you asked the Film Twitter hive mind? These are farming folk so there are plenty of animals in Wild Mountain Thyme (Rosemary’s crazy horse, the donkey Anthony is claimed to… The twist in the tale: Wild Mountain Thyme Read More
The ending to Jakob’s Wife: is it the end though?
Very spoilery, so read on to find out about the film’s meaning, the ending, what I like to think happens next, and also what the Deirdre / Mike / Ken love triangle from Coronation Street has to do with all this. (You can read my 3.5/5 review here.) “Thirty years of been dutiful, obedient, supportive… The ending to Jakob’s Wife: is it the end though? Read More
Shhh! Chaos Walking explained
Very spoilery about the film (I haven’t read the book!) If you just want the ending, scroll down past the “orange trousers” photo… My review is here. The title is from an unnamed New World settler: “The Noise is a man’s thoughts, unfiltered, and without a filter, man is just chaos walking”. There are four… Shhh! Chaos Walking explained Read More
Love, duty and sexual chocolate: is it happily ever after in Coming 2 America?
Spoiler-filled. Who marries who? And where? And do we finally get to hear Randy Watson singing “We are family, I got sexual chocolate with me?” [Answers: read on, read on, yes] (Or check out my 3-star review.) All’s well that ends well in Coming 2 America, with Meeka being made Akeem’s heir, and Lavelle returning… Love, duty and sexual chocolate: is it happily ever after in Coming 2 America? Read More
Mosquito bites and water sprites in Barb And Star Go To Vista Del Mar
Entirely spoilery about the whole plot, though nothing was as surprising to me as discovering that culottes are apparently pronounced COO-lots. Who knew? (My four-star review is here.) How could I dislike a comedy about middle-aged women that begins with Barry Gibb and Barbra Streisand singing Guilty? Little Yoyo is singing along to the song… Mosquito bites and water sprites in Barb And Star Go To Vista Del Mar Read More
The ending of The Father
Extremely spoilery. My review is here. The Father is about the fear and dislocation of ageing and dementia, and what identity means when memory has gone. I’m not sure it’s meant to be explained; rather that the sense of being adrift in a newly changing world be felt just as acutely by us the audience… The ending of The Father Read More
Caring capitalism: the I Care A Lot ending explained
Don’t say I don’t care about you lot – very spoilery. (My four-star review is here.) “Even sadistic, immoral assholes get old”, says Marla referring to Jennifer, who clearly has a dodgy past (or present). But sadistic, immoral asshole Marla does not get that chance. Capitalism does triumph at the end. Marla and Roman Lunyov… Caring capitalism: the I Care A Lot ending explained Read More
Witch watch: The Reckoning ending explained
Naturally this is spoilery about the full-on ending (and a couple of other things). My review is here if you want to read it. I am not a monster so I am not going to make you read the whole article to discover that, yes, adorable baby Abi SURVIVES. I know films don’t usually kill… Witch watch: The Reckoning ending explained Read More
The wonder of Willy’s Wonderland
Very spoilery, if you don’t already know that children’s parties tend to end in mayhem. (My review of the film is here.) “He’s not trapped in here with them – they’re trapped in here with him!” If you after the kind of lockdown palate cleanser that burns off the whole inside of your mouth then… The wonder of Willy’s Wonderland Read More
The News Of The World, trying to get a nation to talk to itself
All the news about News Of The World that’s fit to print, and no sidebar of shame. Warning: very spoilery about the ending! My four-star review of the film is here. Arthur Miller said “A good newspaper, I suppose, is a nation talking to itself,” and Captain Kyle Kidd, the ageing, war-weary storyteller who travels… The News Of The World, trying to get a nation to talk to itself Read More
Saint Maud: sex and death and God and souls
You prayed for spoilers and here they are. Very spoilery about Saint Maud and its shocking ending. Religion, sex and death is one of the ultimate horror threesomes, and Saint Maud brings them together in a devastating exploration of the effects of one woman’s breakdown. “No one sees what they don’t want to,” says the… Saint Maud: sex and death and God and souls Read More
Unearthing The Dig
This is very spoilery about the ending of The Dig, as I go a bit further into the reach of Sutton Hoo and the relationships in the film. If you’re after my five-star review, it’s here. It’s ironic that the boat and burial chamber of an Anglo-Saxon king, a man descended from Germanic invaders, with… Unearthing The Dig Read More
