The Visit (2015)
Just awful!!!
Terrible, ridiculous, woeful. My time was murdered. Don't care about the money I spent. Just want this scratched out of my life.
Victoria (2015)
A real gem
I don't want to give anything away from this fantastic voyage. I have seen it twice in the cinema. The first time it was a seductive web slowly untangling before my very eyes. The second time around, I was able to explore the depth of character, eloquent photography and warmth of so many characters bouncing off one another like multiple chain reactions in an atomic plant.
The intricate use of light, which beautifully choreographs times, is one of the stand out features of the film. It provides the canvass upon which the characters, their feelings and sense of adventure unfold. It also shows the true predicament they find themselves in the cold, unflinching light of day.
A joy to watch and study.
Bitter Lake (2015)
Enlightening, saddening and so human - A must see!
I gained a real insight into the turmoil, sadness and repeated failures in Afghanistan. The skillful way in which history was blended with real life stories made this more than just a cold documentary. There is a scene when an association attempt is made. The chaotic manner in which the incident happens and the motorcade is unable to plough through the disorganised streets of Kabul brought home how much this country has been ravaged by idiots, sinister barbarians and the American petrodollars.
There are some brilliant touches where Curtis's instructions to interviewees become part of the unfolding story adding to the sense that the lives of ordinary Afghani's is there to be exploited at the beck and call of western overloads who are playing out their own agenda. The world would be so different if the country was aloud to modernise without too much external pressure and importantly, Saudi Arabia was kept in check. These are the key lessons for me. The rest is a dreadful tale of stupidity, arrogance and a willful disregard for humanity.
