Is very much on the action, because of the genre we re in here. and the action is well delivered, it s very, very slick. what i felt was, is that a lot of the dialogue and the characters definitely came second to that. so, if you want to sit back and enjoy a thriller on a train with pretty top end violence for cert 15, i d say, then go ahead. but if you want a film where you actually believe the characters and you actually believe what they re saying, because i felt like there was quite a lot of stuff that should ve worked on the page they didn t do a second or third orfourth take when actually came to the shooting of it. so i ve got a bit of a mixed response to this one. it s not up there with deadpool 2, if you re a fan of the genre. i m loving the look, you see, because i love all the bright primary colours. i mean, that s great. but it s interesting that you mentioned atomic blonde, because my other half loved it, and that sort of thing is just, again, a bit too violent for me. s ....

Him and his garden, just saying, who d know that in this garden shed, i have all these sparkly ball gowns, and they help keep the birds away ? all those lovely details. yeah, they were the more touching and more telling details, weren t they? definitely. i could ve lived without the man from america, i m afraid, but there you are. that will only make sense to you if you see the film. but it s an interesting, affectionate portrait but, yes, made on more of a budget than fadia s tree. definitely, but i enjoyed it. yeah. and so, your best out for this week? she will this is charlotte colbert s drama horror thriller, call it what you will, set in the scottish highlands, where alice krieger plays a former hollywood star, who s recovering in a retreat with her nurse. and things take a very interesting turn it touches on witchcraft, it touches on the metoo movement, there s folk horror elements, there s a bit of dark comedy there rupert everett is rather amusing as this sort of fla ....
Documentary about a palestinian refugee who s living in a camp in lebanon, she s called fadia. and i love the story of how she met the film maker, sarah beddington, the artist they were in a cafe in beirut 15 years before this film was made, and a woman leant over to sarah and said, are you happy? such an interesting intro. and the two struck up a conversation, they struck up a great friendship. sarah ended up going to the camp, finding out more about this very strong personality, fadia, who makes a very interesting subject, i think. and fadia actually asked her to go to her homeland the homeland she can t visit in order to find this tree, which is a mulberry tree that s kind of legendary in the family, and it s very much part of her ancestral identity. i think it s a quietly powerful piece of work. for me, it s not up there with other personal female led documentaries we ve had recently like i am belmaya, or the wonderful for sama. but i do think that it raises some issues tha ....
