British Film Festival Fisherman’s Friends: One and All Movie Review

The album went gold selling over 150,000 copies and in these days of streaming that is an impressive number. With that surprise success, media attention and a film based on their story was inevitable. The first film did well and now part two gets a release. The first version was a feel-good story and the second continues with that momentum.   //   The story that has been built around the facts feels very contrived but that does little to dull the joy. Who doesn’t love ...

Muru Movie Review

The police raids of 2007 were an overreach by the then government in an effort to address domestic terrorism. The series of raids that took place nationwide were an abject failure and accomplished little.

Amsterdam Movie Review

This actual event, the Wall Street Putsch of 1933 as it was known was an attempt by a group of rich industrialists to overthrow the then government of President Franklin D. Roosevelt and install a dictator of their choosing. That event informs the events of Amsterdam but in a roundabout way.   //   The main cast of characters are made up of a trio brought together by World War I. Doctor Burt Berendsen (Christian Bale) the evening’s narrator and the soul of the procee...

Don’t Worry Darling Movie Review

Don't Worry Darling is a challenging experience but one that will reward those that don’t need to be spoon-fed their films. Its narrative is something on the surface but almost entirely different under that facade. Its bright and colourful fifties persona hides a dark secret.   //   Alice (Florence Pugh) and Jack (Harry Styles) lead an idyllic life and seem lustfully in love. The desert community in which they live mirrors the fifties lifestyle perfectly, too perfect...
