Liquid Swords

Mid 90's is a simple story with complex themes, about belonging and acceptance and exploring boundaries, with an authentic soundtrack and some great characters. There are no famous actors (apart from a very understated Lucas Hedges) leading to a really natural feel and filmed beautifully with an expert eye. Along with the surrounding characters you are rooting for the lead from the outset and you gain the same sense of satisfaction as he does from just being with the crowd. The story never goes where you expect it to but leaves you feeling uplifted and fulfilled. Jonah Hill has certainly hit the mark with this gem. We will give each film we see a score out of 10 for overall enjoyment. Mid90s  =  10        We loved it!

I Love Five People and Ponce is Two of them

Julia Roberts proving that she really can act and Lucas Hedges proving that be is wise beyond his years, in a sad take on a Mother's need to protect her child against all sound reasoning and at a cost to the rest of her family and potentially her own well-being. Ben is Back  is a lovely film with sadness and risk running throughout it. Told again from a slightly different angle, but with lots of familiar themes and issues. The mistrust when someone has a history of drug use, the desperate need of a parent to protect and understand their child, especially when their behaviour is alien or out of character. The film mostly documents one night in these peoples lives and the dark turns and lengths they go to, and how decisions they make impact upon each other. We will give each film we see a score out of 10 for overall enjoyment. Ben is Back  =  8         No feel good elements which made it hard to enjoy although a very good film. The card...
