Film Reviews by JW

Chose this film largely based on cast. It was disappointing and it was sad to see such eminent actors perform to such a weak script. I appreciate there was a point but it was late in establishing and also unfair to the ordinary excellent staff that deal with the elderly.

I've given it 3 stars because of the cast but frankly it's a film that should never have been made.

This film was different and typically BFI.

Quietly rambling but a little bit unbelievable that an ill old man would be allowed to make the trip on buses. Had he no friends or relatives to accompany him?

Gave slices of humanity good and bad along the way but predictable.

I like Timothy Spall but felt his talent wasted.

Worth watching as an education in film making and its pitfalls.

Thought this would be good because of Dustin Hoffman.

It was such hard going and not to our taste at all. Watched about half and then had better things to do. Disappointing.

I didn't enjoy this dvd as much as the others so far. I felt the imagined conversations went a bit too far and were gratuitous.

I really felt that a note before stating the series was fictitious based on rumour and basic historical fact was valid!

I didn't think I'd enjoy this. Most thought Allen had gone off the boil. But I did especially the comupance at the end. Worth the watch.
