"She is at a level of realism and vérité that impresses me. It’s a character that really finds all of her depth as the episodes go by. We couldn’t imagine at the beginning of the series what she will eventually show herself capable of."

In this collection of eight short stories, Shankman tells the tales of Włodawa during WW2, uniting fact and fiction with a smattering of magical realism. Find out more about this lovely collection in my review here https://tcl-bookreviews.com/2016/02/23/wlodawas-wars/

"The first feminist character in a novel. I love this period of French lit, reflecting the life of a bored wife trapped as a woman in a ‘suitable’ marriage as a way to maintain her inheritance. It was seen as introducing realism and the modern narrative."

Heartfelt but a little OTT
The sentiment to this Disney film is bittersweet about loss and love, which makes it different to most Disney films. But the crazy superhero action was just too much. A little bit of realism goes a long way. Other than that I love Baymax!

"“It’s got Albert Finney in and it’s about living for the weekend and having that kind of hedonism, but not really because it’s a small town and they go to the same haunts every time. There’s an unusual gritty realism about it too. It’s about fighting, shagging and drinking.”"

"The godfather of magical realism, but not twee at all. Also the underwater sequence has been homaged so many times it’s solidified as legendary. Michel Simon’s character is so touching in this film, he’s also littered with so many tattoos he could be a transplant from a Viceland show."

Heartbreakingly funny at points and the realism hits and the most unexpected times.
A wonderful readig experience documented to absolute perfection.

Despite some truly great moments, the film makes poor narrative and character choices that are difficult to overlook and, therefore, keep this movie from standing apart from all of the other pretty decent movies that have come out this year.
