Film Reviews by MC

Pretty tedious! Not sure how it developed, but, unusually for me, I hadn't the patience to give it time. Gave up after about twenty minutes. Remarkably, it managed to seem both twee, and pretentious.

Took a little while for the film to work it's magic on me, but became totally immersed in the world it depicted. A unique experience, and so well accomplished and performed, particularly by Eleanor Tomlinson as the barmaid.

Interesting story based in truth. Treatment here was VERY slow and oversimplified. Picks up a bit in the second half, but could have been half the length. Acting was a bit stilted and dialogue quite corny.
