Mrs. Harris Goes to Paris Movie Review

Underlining the frivolities is some consistent commentary on the class system and the vanity and entitlement that the upper classes feel they are entitled to. Through it all, the down-to-earth nature and honesty of Mrs Harris (Lesley Manville) shines through. Set in post-World War II England. Mrs Harris ekes out a living cleaning the houses of the well-to-do.   //   Her husband has been missing since the war and she works hard to make a living but she still has dreams. ...

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. Those events make up the backdrop for Muru.   //   The hero of the film is local Police Sergeant 'Taffy' Tawharau played with understated effectiveness by Cliff Curtis. He is a man of the law but also a man with deep roots in his community. His efforts to ease the ...

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...
