The Bee Gees: How Can You Mend A Broken Heart 4 stars☆☆☆☆☆

24th December 2020 by Sarah Leave a Comment

The first feature-length documentary about the legendary band who wrote more than 1,000 songs, created twenty number one hits and sold more than 220 million records to date. Just because you’re famous, doesn’t mean you’re immune from petty sibling arguments. One of my favourite moments in the illuminating, entertaining and musically joyous documentary The Bee… The Bee Gees: How Can You Mend A Broken Heart Read More

Divas and dreamers in The High Note trailer

28th February 2020 by Sarah Leave a Comment

“In the history of music, only five women over 40 ever had a no.1 hit. And only one of them was black” superstar singer Grace Davis (Tracee Ellis Ross) tells Dakota Johnson’s Maggie, her personal assistant and also a would-be music producer. There look to be some barnstorming numbers in this, though I couldn’t take… Divas and dreamers in The High Note trailer Read More

Yesterday 3 stars☆☆☆☆☆

28th June 2019 by Sarah Leave a Comment

Jack Malik, unsuccessful at both singer-songwriting and love, is cycling home one night though his Suffolk hometown when the electricity fails across the world for 12 seconds and he’s hit by a bus. It’s a calamity for Jack (Himesh Patel), though it doesn’t seem to affect anyone else much, who see it as a jokey… Yesterday Read More

Anima (Short Film) Short Film 4 stars☆☆☆☆☆

26th June 2019 by Sarah 2 Comments

Anima is a sometimes mesmerising experience – ironic when you consider both the soundtrack (it’s a film “best played loud”), and that it’s a denunciation of dystopian societies, whose messages to control their populations can be almost hypnotic. This is a film that moves between dreamlike and nightmarish, from realistic settings to the entirely stylised…. Anima (Short Film) Read More

Rocketman 4.5 stars☆☆☆☆☆

25th May 2019 by Sarah Leave a Comment

  Several times during Rocketman young Reggie Dwight reappears in Elton John’s life, even as the singer-songwriter is trying to escape him, before he realises that little Reggie is the anchor for everything. Elton’s childhood was often bleak. Yet despite this film’s honest depictions of loneliness, addiction and despair, Rocketman is a joyous and boisterous fantasy grounded in… Rocketman Read More

The Perfection 3.5 stars☆☆☆☆☆

24th May 2019 by Sarah Leave a Comment

Considering its title, the symmetry in new Netflix thriller horror The Perfection – only fully revealed at the very end – is to be expected. The trailer (below, which I’m going to assume you’ve seen) positions this as a straight-up horror, and Charlotte (Allison Williams) as a demented stalker, wielding a kitchen machete and with… The Perfection Read More

Blinded By The Light trailer: Bruce lights the way in 80s Luton

18th May 2019 by Sarah 2 Comments

The 80s were a crazy decade – awesome music, terrible politics. (Possibly the latter helped cause the former.) In Blinded By The Light it’s 1987 and Mrs Thatcher is in power, while record players and Walkmans hum with Wham! and Bananarama (when it comes to the 80s, if you never tried to wind a cassette… Blinded By The Light trailer: Bruce lights the way in 80s Luton Read More

Carmine Street Guitars 4 stars☆☆☆☆☆

14th May 2019 by Sarah Leave a Comment

There’s a funny moment in the documentary Carmine Street Guitars when there’s an attempt to set up the realtor selling the six million-dollar building next door as the bad guy, but it’s very brief. Properietor and legendary guitar maker Rick Kelly is frosty and monosyllabic with the salesman, but anyway is much more interested in whether… Carmine Street Guitars Read More

Her Smell 3.5 stars☆☆☆☆☆

15th April 2019 by Sarah Leave a Comment

For a film about music and musicians, the soundtrack to Her Smell is less the songs, and more the chanting, stomping fans out in front of the stage – in love with Becky Something, and furious with her at the same time. Becky (a riveting Elisabeth Moss), lead singer with punk rock band Something She, is… Her Smell 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

Burning Men 3 stars☆☆☆☆☆

22nd February 2019 by Sarah Leave a Comment

There’s a great gag at the end of Burning Men that made me wonder if the writer thought it up then worked backwards creating a story leading up to it. And that’s partly what the film itself does, when what seems like a British horror movie turns out to be more a psychological foray into… Burning Men Read More
