I Know Where I'm Going! (1945)
Exquisite Totally Amazing Must See
What an amazing film! Full of surprises at every turn. The storm at sea is more visceral than the most special effects laden films. The acting is great. The beautiful nobility of the characters is pitch perfect. Contains one of the greatest screen kisses of cinema especially in its enthusiasm. The end is deliciously satisfying and even transcendent. Plus Gaelic, bagpipes, and a world class dance party scene. One of the greatest supporting actress performances of all time - from, dare I say, one of the greatest little known screen actresses of all time. Without a mean or overly sentimental moment. Pitch perfect. Exotic. Unlike anything else.
A Little White Lie (2023)
Magical Magnificent & Totally Satisfying
Michael Shannon is brilliant as usual and all the rest of the cast are wonderful - particularly Don Johnson, with surprising and delightful turns all around. The writing is dazzling and truly moving. A must-see, especially if you love great writing and the writer's world. Keeps surprising all the way through. Particularly notable for the sparkle of all the supporting characters. Make no mistake this is very funny but also very moving and redemptive but never corny. Shannon's performance and the quality of the writing elevates this way beyond a typical romantic comedy which it certainly is not.
The Man Who Knew Too Little (1997)
Farcical Tour de Force
Very clever writing and among many other delights we get to see Murray dance like Groucho Marx. Everything landed for us. The other leads are uniformly wonderful. We laughed all the way through.
Top End Wedding (2019)
Total Delight
Perfect film. Moving, very, very funny, and with total heart but never sentimental or preachy. What a delight! The aboriginal cultural elements are beyond wonderful. All the actors are great. The direction never lags or misses a beat.
Mixtape (2021)
Totally Delightful
Funny, heartfelt, great characters with very satisfying arcs. The girls are all truly great and Nick Thune is unforgettable. Great finale too. Not a false step or dull moment. Directing and cinematography with the sure, purposeful hand of real artists. Not to be missed!
