The Personal History of David Copperfield 4.5 stars☆☆☆☆☆

31st January 2020 by Sarah Leave a Comment

There is little to criticise in Armando Iannucci’s pacy, exuberant, free-thinking and hilarious film, though as a keen baker I had to turn away when faced with Uriah Heep’s mother’s “heavy cakes”, a seemingly never-ending procession of giant overcooked monstrosities with which England’s dark satanic mills could easily have been built. Beyond those inedible indelicacies,… The Personal History of David Copperfield Read More

Bait 4.5 stars☆☆☆☆☆

30th August 2019 by Sarah Leave a Comment

Martin is a fisherman without a boat, his brother Steven having re-purposed it as a tourist tripper. With their childhood home now a get-away for London money, Martin is displaced to the estate above the harbour.

Dusty & Me 2.5 stars☆☆☆☆☆

26th September 2018 by Sarah Leave a Comment

Dusty & Me is beautifully staged (it’s set in the 1970s, and looks of its time without being drenched in memorabilia), though one design element did grate. It was the Del Monte tinned fruit cocktail the family had for their tea one night, where I spotted a pink cherry in each bowl. No way did one… Dusty & Me Read More

Finding Your Feet 3 stars☆☆☆☆☆

2nd March 2018 by Sarah Leave a Comment

This is a film of two halves – the first is bright and brilliantly funny with lines delivered to perfection by some of our greatest thespians, and touches on themes much grittier and darker than I expected. The second half is less funny and follows a familiar path; at times even the sadness feels like… Finding Your Feet Read More
