The Film Reviewer

[Graham Breeze]

No, but then I don't expect that there are many people who are labouring under the misapprehension that such attributes to one's life might correlate with directorial prowess. Anymore, than being able to make a splendid omelette; owning a cat; having a penchant for Geography; or being a whiz at flinging a frisbee, might contribute to one's ability in that area.

Whatever, this is a thoroughly entertaining film. George has worked some magic here. Although that's only my lowbrowed, philistine opinion.


“No film critic’s going to say it, but Madagascar 3 is better than The Artist.”
―Chris Rock

Dunno about Madagascar 3 but I thought The Artist was "a one hit wonder" and overrated.

Tar on the other hand I paid money twice to see last year.

PS The Times today has an article about the awfulness of Jeanne Dielman, 23 Qui Du Commerce 1080 Bruxelles directed by Chantal Akerman and which was voted the best film of all time or some such rubbish a year ago.

Modesty prevents me referring you to my April 2023 post.
