The King 3 stars☆☆☆☆☆

16th November 2019 by Sarah Leave a Comment

Henry V’s Chief Justice, William Gascoigne (Sean Harris), puts the realities of kingship best to the young English monarch: “Promise must be fulfilled. Promise must never be an end in itself.” He’s not showing much promise when we first see Prince Hal; his father Henry IV is still on the throne, and Hal is a… The King Read More

The Witches 4 stars☆☆☆☆☆

1st September 2019 by Sarah Leave a Comment

A young boy stumbles onto a witch convention and must stop them, even after he has been turned into a mouse. Its nearly three decades since this film came out. Watching it now – and yes I know that viewing old films through modern eyes can be as problematic as the “issues” that have, in… The Witches Read More

The Witches (kids’ review!) 5 stars☆☆☆☆☆

31st August 2019 by Cassian Leave a Comment

I don’t believe in witches and I don’t believe in ghosts. The Tooth Fairy is real though. People say she uses the children’s teeth to build a castle of teeth but I don’t think that. The witches in this film have horrible toes so they have to wear horrible shoes and they are bald with… The Witches (kids’ review!) Read More

Fisherman’s Friends 2.5 stars☆☆☆☆☆

16th March 2019 by Sarah 1 Comment

“Emotions have no place in business” says hotshot London music executive Danny (Daniel Mays) and there’s your Britflick red flag right there. Fisherman’s Friends ticks so many boxes it makes me wonder if there’s a secret list of British film industry definites and nice-to-haves, with any funding dependent on a 75% hit rate. Based on… Fisherman’s Friends Read More

Mary Queen Of Scots 3.5 stars☆☆☆☆☆

19th January 2019 by Sarah Leave a Comment

To shore up their throne a monarch will lean heavily on symbolism, as does director Josie Rourke; so much so that the constant allusions to the symmetry and asymmetry in the two queens’ lives sometimes threaten to overwhelm the whole movie. My advice is simply to lie back and enjoy it, as otherwise your frustrations will… Mary Queen Of Scots Read More

OutLaw King 3.5 stars☆☆☆☆☆

13th November 2018 by Sarah 2 Comments

This is a traditional account of Robert Bruce’s fightback against the English as the Scottish nobleman claims his country’s crown, taking on Edward I and his son Edward, Prince Of Wales (later Edward II). There are no gimmicks, and watching it on Netflix, it did feel as if TV is a good home for it;… OutLaw King Read More
