I'll keep this one relatively short - Onward is fucking delightful. It's brimming with charm, it's emotionally exhausting, it's full of colour.

It feels different for Pixar. The opening scenes feel more like a Dreamworks effort, but it's not long before the studio's signature stamp is prominent. The narrative is imaginative, and emotionally draining. I'm a goddam grown man and I 100% was welling up on multiple occasions. I'm a big brother who has always hoped that my younger brother looks up to me, and I frequently feel that I don't always get it right, so this screenplay really got me. Right in the feels.
It also happens to have a damn fine voice cast just to seal the deal.

Onward is genuinely brilliant. Seeing Pixar's take on the realm of Tolkien-esque fantasy is wonderful, and it deserves to stand up with the studio's very best productions. Now excuse me whilst I go and cry into a pillow.

Hey everyone been a bit light on reviews over the past week as my cinema hasn't had anything yet that I haven't already seen.

Have no fear joker is out this week so look forward to a review on that very soon.

In the mean time if you haven't seen my film of the year midsommar check out my review and then have a look at this that I found on the Italian Amazon site.

Sadly there is no 4k release in the Uk so when I saw this I didn't care about the price I just had to pre-order it straight away (4k discs are region free). This isn't me trying to sell anything or trying to get commission I'm just simply saying this film is an absolute masterpiece and if your a film or horror fan a must see and with such a clean and bright colour pallet theres no other way than 4k to experience it.

'You're pulling my leg,' says one character when the events of Almodovar's seventh movie are explained to him: suffice to say this is a frantic screwball farce (with the odd serious moment), involving a voice-over actress, a cell of Shiite terrorists, the least successful viewing of a rental property in Spanish history and a jug of gazpacho soup spiked with tranquilisers. Starts slow, but accelerates rapidly once it gets into its stride.

Almodovar is coming into his stride as a film-maker and his classic style has more or less appeared by this point: the film is full of strong but vulnerable women (the men are feckless or stupid and generally not worth bothering with), the whole thing is bursting with colour and compassion, and the plotting is rather preposterous even before we consider the outrageous coincidences peppering the film. Very entertaining; if not quite one of Almodovar's best movies, then an important step on the way there.
