Monsoon (2019)
So much potential not realised...
Had high hopes for this film, there was so much that the story could explore , but it jumped around without any great depth or cohesion with many scenes orphaned or seemingly adding nothing to the story. No real conclusion, it just faded out.. Thought provoking to a degree on displacement and the effects of a war, but the dialogue was limited and the topics raised were not really explored. This review is no reflection on the acting capabilities of those in the film, more the materials they had were working with. In summary I would probably give this one a miss and move on to something more interesting.
Too Good to be True (2024)
It could have been better
Having taken our time to unpack the story and the scene, the conclusion was rushed. Credibility of Rachel as a cleaner was stretched when in the first couple of days in a new job she was trying on clothes she found in employers wardrobes.
It had great potential. The house, the cars and Elliott was believable, however her complete lack of any questioning was naive beyond belief.
I really was hopeful that this would be better than it was.
With such a rushed conclusion and some plot areas completely left unexplained it was a little sad. I couldn't believe at the beginning of episode 4 that they were going to wrap it all up that quickly..
Single All the Way (2021)
Really enjoyed it...
It is a formulaic Christmas movie, so I am not sure what some people expect. Take it all with a pinch of salt and enjoy the romanticism.
Lovely to see Michael Urie and Luke Macfarlane again.
A really great star studded cast, and the perfect film to just watch at Christmas, whilst wrapping presents and writing cards. Think critics seem to have forgotten what Christmas movies are about.
Fair Haven (2016)
Sweet Little Film
Really enjoyed this film, it was simple and uncomplicated, and showcased some of the real issues that face people in rural communities. Well done Tom Malloy. A special mention to Josh Green, whose expressions conveyed so much without dialog.
