Film Reviews by KR1960

John Cassavetes may not have directed many full length movies but they always impress me , especially when Gena Rowlands is one of main cast as with Gloria

Equally impressive in Gloria is child actor John Adames , in my view

However , some of the reviews of his performance were so extremely negative that John Adames decided to retire from the acting profession 

I think this is a real shame because great performances could have followed Gloria

When I think of fine actors who have a number of prize turkeys on their cv as well as celebrated gems - Bill Nighy and John Hurt spring to mind - I feel John Adames was unfairly treated

Not a patch on her later brilliant film - Portrait of a Lady On Fire. Though better than Petit Maman in my opinion
