Film Festival so far

[ewx]

Tamara Drewe

Based on the graphic novel by Posey Simmonds, of which I thought it a pretty decent adaptation. Love and lies in a modern rural setting.

Blindsided

Highly entertaining short concerning a blind woman and a criminal.

Monsters

Two people travel across alien-infested Mexico. Competent in its own way but didn’t quite seem to know what it wanted to say.

Wagner And Me

Stephen Fry discusses the man and the music, and his reactions to both. I really enjoyed it.

World’s Greatest Dad

Robin Williams as teacher and unsuccessful writer whose life is turned around by tragedy and a well-meant lie.

The Hunter

Bleak Iranian film. I enjoyed spotting Farsi cognates to English words though (dokhtare daughter, to thou, shish six).

I saw Wagner and Me when it was on iplayer, and thought it was pretty good

I should write more reviews. But maybe not when I'm supposed to be working ;/

I liked Tammy Drewe. I was all "I'm so glad Richard Curtis didn't adapt this".
