The Craggus (360 KP) rated Eighth Grade (2018) in Movies
Apr 23, 2019
Eighth Grade (2019) will make you remember what it's like to be 14 again - and very glad you're not!
The insightful writing and direction, the virtuoso camerawork and the careful balancing act between comedy and drama is grounded by such an astonishingly authentic and natural performance from Elsie Fisher that it feels like an enormous privilege to be granted this view into Kayla’s inner life...

What a stroke of genius
This series of short animated films is one of the best collections I have seen in a long time, the stories range from comedy to serious drama and even if you aren't a massive fan of animation, there is still a story for you, with the realist animation I've seen in a long time. Give it a go you just might like it.
Movie Metropolis (309 KP) rated The Favourite (2018) in Movies
Jun 10, 2019
Jesus Christ this one was hard to sit through. Not released theatrically in the UK until January, I unfortunately managed to bag myself a press-only screening. Bizarrely adored by critics, this mish-mash of comedy and drama starring Emma Stone, Rachel Weisz and Olivia Colman of all people is just surreal. For me, that’s not in a good way.

A good film some may find hard to follow, due to different timelines. However it makes for a pretty good thriller and although it didn't end as expected, it probably made the film better for being different.
I thought Sandra Bullock was great in this and having watched Miss Congeniality 2 a few days before, it just goes to show she can do comedy, action or drama equally well!

Hmmm... What can I say?
How about, this show is absolutely amazing!
I love it so much and have since the first episode. I have even got many people (including my mum) into watching it due to all the amazing aspects within it, such as Comedy, Drama, Heartfelt and Drag Queens!
Many competitions and challenges and the runway looks are stunning most of the time.
Would 100% recommend!

Edge of Payback
Get The Gringo- it reminds of Payback and Edge of Darkness. A revenge film with action, drama, comedy and suspense. Unlike Payback and Edge of Darkness which were decent films. I actually like Get The Gringo.
The plot: A youngster helps an American career criminal (Mel Gibson) learn to survive behind the walls of a brutal Mexican prison.
A good action packed prison survival film.

Very funny (1 more)
Good cast
Funny bite size series
This looked interesting from the trailer, a Sky Original comedy, drama with a strong cast. It's very short at 6 episodes and each barely 30 minutes long. It does pack a lot of funny scenes and dialogue in each episode. It was very witty just a shame it's so short. One to blast through in a couple of viewings.

O Captain! My Captain!
Late 1950s set drama, with the late Robin Williams in full-on dramatic mode (as opposed to his usual comedy persona) as a schoolteacher with unconventional methods in a boys prep school who teaches his charges to 'seize the day'.
Later made a scapegoat when tragedy strikes, this is one of the earliest films I can remember where he, well, acted rather than clowned about!

Sarah (7798 KP) rated Downsizing (2017) in Movies

Great idea, badly executed
Downsizing really has no idea what film it's trying to be. Is it a drama? Is it a comedy? Is it a take on current issues with society and global warming? The problem is it tries to be all of these and more, and it fails at every hurdle.
It isn't funny, all of the jokes pretty much fall flat. The drama side is so boring and unengaging that less than an hour in I was dying to leave. The characters themselves are for the most part underdeveloped and completely forgettable. Paul Safranek as the protagonist is so dull that you find yourself not caring about his exploits. The only exception is played by Hong Chau, as even Christoph Waltz can't seem to impress in this.
The concept of downsizing itself is a fantastic idea, it's just a shame the film itself is dragged down by being too serious and boring. If done right, this could have been a great comedy.
