The Lobster (2015)
Twaddle
Pretentious. Not clever. Not art. Just stupid.
To be dystopian needs to have some relationship with reality. This does not. It views as though it has been written by a 12 year old. It holds your interest until the end, in the hope it has something to say about life or the world. It does not.
Luna (2014)
Very original. Touching. A film not just for 'art lovers'
A thought-provoking film, and a pleasure to watch. The acting feels very genuine. The production might come across to many as rather too 'luvvie', but if you bear with it, the film has a lot to say about life. Stick with it - through the weird stuff - and you'll come out the other side feeling your time has been well spent.
The Bookshop (2017)
A lovely and curious film
The film draws you in, keeping your interest until the very end. It demonstrates that a fast pace is not needed to make a good film. Are some of the actors deliberately delivering wooden performances? The General acts as though he has just stepped onto a stage for the first time. Perhaps reading the book would help? A small criticism is that, given the film refers to Buildings law, it is a shame more attention was not given to the rainy street scene: uPVC doors and windows in 1959? Other than that, lovely.
