A hugely fun and highly satisfying sequel. Superb action, great pacing, and cleverly weaves in elements from the original. You would need a heart of stone not to enjoy it.

Bittersweet and well-paced
30 December 2021
A lovingly made musical biopic of Jonathan Larson, who look the long road to success as a Broadway writer, with an unexpected twist. Fans of Lin-Manuel Miranda whose entry point was Hamilton are more likely to enjoy this than In The Heights.

The Bohemian Rhapsody of British TV drama
5 October 2021
Sprawling, epic, jaw-dropping, moving: OFITN is unparalleled. Eccleston, Craig, McKee and Strong lead a stellar cast on top form in an episodic saga that visits the central
characters at key moments in British history from 1964-95.
Mad Max: Fury Road

Stylish but dull
8 May 2021
Looks great but it lumbers along with too much gnashing of teeth and waving of car-mounted harpoon guns at the expense of plot or character development. We are a family of five including three teenagers and we gave up on it after half an hour, by which time no character had made us care about them at all.
Vacation
(1983)
Sour
8 May 2021
A sour comedy that has aged badly. Chevy Chase plays a toe-curling oaf. Most of the set pieces fall flat and the best jokes raise little more than a laugh. Not a family film. Pales into comparison with the superior later offering National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation.
Patchy. Avoid.
