WWII : The Long Road Home (2017)
A* for A Level or a very good University film, but not good for this release.
Acting at times is poor. Cinematography lacks finesse. Clunky in places, but for a teenager's film, it is a worthy effort. However, still 2 out of 10. Maybe with the funding in future, he'll turn out good.
Joker (2019)
Disturbing, Creepy, Violent in places but brilliant
I love how this builds as a film. Brilliant acting.
24 Hours to Live (2017)
Not that bad really...
This has a good cast; Ethan Hawks is pretty good as is that bloke from GoT and that other one from Peaky Blinders! :) There are some bad reviews, of which I don't agree... It's not fantastic but an average 7 in my opinion.
Song for a Raggy Boy (2003)
Brilliant film -literally hard hitting but a touching 'based on' true story
I cannot believe some of the negative comments about this film. The acting is strong from the whole cast, including the children and that is a rarity these days. It touches on the awful side of Irish Catholic reform schools and the brutality and abuse depicted here is authentic and true, based on accounts and evidence which has come to light in recent years. It is emotional at times and hard to take but this is a superb film and its comparisons with films such as Dead Poet's are justified. 9 out of 10, not quite perfect but very close. The acting is brilliant and Iain Glenn and Aidann Quinn stand out as do the two main boys in the story. You may be shocked and appalled by some of the scenes but it is worth watching and was one of the best films of 2003.
