Boxing Day trailer: does true love triumph?

30th October 2021 by Sarah Leave a Comment

And who is Melvin actually in love with: Lisa or Georgia? We’ll have to wait until 3 December to find that out, though judging by this trailer the movie itself fulfils my strict but simple rules for a fantastic festive film. To stop me going all bah humbug on exhausted moviemakers, they need to provide… Boxing Day trailer: does true love triumph? Read More

The Nest ending: did you twig?

29th August 2021 by Sarah 55 Comments

If you can remember the ’80s, were you really there? Do you want to remember? What, even the shoulder pads? Very spoilery. (My five star review is here.) “Rory. Stop.” So ends The Nest, with wife Allison finally asserting her authority, literally and figuratively now at the head of the table, when he skulks in… The Nest ending: did you twig? Read More

Cruella 3 stars☆☆☆☆☆

20th June 2021 by Sarah Leave a Comment

Prequel covering the rebellious early days of one of cinemas most notorious – and notoriously fashionable – villains, the legendary Cruella de Vil.  Cruella may be all fur coat and no knickers but it’s also bouncy fun with bite, as we are blessed with the two best Emmas (sorry Hermione and Baby Spice) fighting it… Cruella Read More

Locked Down 3 stars☆☆☆☆☆

14th January 2021 by Sarah Leave a Comment

Just as they decide to separate, Linda and Paxton find life has other plans when they are stuck at home in a mandatory lockdown.  It may have more holes than my bubbling sourdough starter, but I enjoyed Locked Down a lot more than I enjoyed lockdown, the claustrophobia-induced frenzy of Doug Liman’s film all too… Locked Down Read More

Invasion Planet Earth 2 stars☆☆☆☆☆

4th December 2019 by Sarah 1 Comment

It never rains but it pours as we like to say in weather-obsessed Britain, and that’s certainly true of Invasion Planet Earth. Not literally. This isn’t Geostorm. But our planet, already on the brink of a world war, is faced with an alien invasion. Simon Cox’s feature (he directed, produced and co-wrote the screenplay) has been… Invasion Planet Earth Read More

Judy 3.5 stars☆☆☆☆☆

5th October 2019 by Sarah Leave a Comment

Despite Judy Garland’s far-too-early death at the age of 47, there’s a sense in Judy that by then her life had come full circle, and not in a good way. Interweaving her five-week engagement at the Talk Of The Town club in London a few months before her death with her teenage years in Hollywood,… Judy Read More

7th June 2019 by Sarah 1 Comment

Shola Amoo’s second feature is an accomplished and absorbing film, following the teenage Femi as he struggles to create his own identity and sense of place from disparate memories, experiences and expectations. Little confusions, which for teenagers can still loom large, are woven into far more serious choices. There’s a sweet scene when Femi, walking along… The Last Tree (Sundance London) Read More
