Moro Spanish Film Festival – Carmen & Lola Movie Review

This secret has the ability to blow both their worlds apart but young love only knows young love. This examination of a culturally forbidden love is presented as part social story and part teen drama. It helps the teen drama aspect that both women are very attractive, this however blunts the film’s social impact. It is still a fascinating insight into the Gypsy world, a world very few know.   //   Carmen & Lola is screening in Brisbane: Palace James Street Sunday ...

1985 Movie Review

Set in the waning days of 1985, Adrian has long since moved to New York from the small town in Texas he used to call home.

Not having a point of reference of the manner in which Adrian carried himself in the past, you ...

The Aftermath Movie Review

Setting The Aftermath in this time frame colours the story to a degree but it under-utilises the emotional turmoil of the time to tell a somewhat conventional love story. It is set in the dead of winter and the stark white of the snow underlines the coldness between its main players.   //   Rachael Morgan (Keira Knightley) is reunited with her husband Lewis (Jason Clarke), a high commander and part of the occupational forces in Germany. Their relationship is one of ...
