Saltburn (2023)
Millennial predictably pretty Talented Mr Ripley
Beautifully acted, Pike & Grant were superb. Felix character a lovable sanguine aristocrat.
Nice exposition & some really good lines from Grant & Pike.
Very slow for little payoff; sumptuous style over substance the end though.
I didn't hate it & a few great set pieces. A little emporers new clothes, but imagine for those with little cinematic experience it may be unexpected. The main actor was very good......
Not awful by any means.
It would be a good hangover movie, but you may find yourself reaching for your phone.
I don't feel it deserves the high scores and near hysteria it's garnered on SM, I find that somewhat baffling.
Happy it's doing well for all those invoked as a solid effort.
The Wretched (2019)
Not the right Title, but great fun
Really loved this gentle horror movie. A great protagonist in the lead teenager (especially as I usually hate modern 'teens' in movies).
The title doesn't suit the feel of the film, despite the horrid & scary villain, excellent body snatcher feel & really good effects.
A gem of a movie that feels like an 80s film. Excellent old-fashioned fun with no millennial pretentiousness.
The Lie (2018)
Dull, Repugnant & Obvious
Terrible movie. Forwarded through turgid painful dialogue & wooden set prices. All of the characters were foul & it made me detest self-entitled teenagers & their over-indulgent whiny, unhappy moronic parents. Incredibly obvious ending. Hideous. Avoid at all costs.
The Outsider (2020)
Interesting & Expertly Directed
Really enjoying this adaptation. Faithful to the story. Jason Bateman just gets better as both an actor (been a fan since "It's Your Move" !) and a director; simply but electrifying use of pace, angles & cinematography.
He has a delicate touch that leaves you feeling like you're part of the story watching from over a shoulder. Genius.
