Downdon Abbey – A New Era: 96% of our audience voted it excellect or good so again it seems a good choice.
Very enjoyable as a Downton Abbey fan. Very entetaining and good diction so easy to hear the dialogue. Wonderful. Marvellous! Great! Terrific! Really enjoyed that.
Loved the costumes. Give us more like this. Worth coming out for on a horrible night!
Where the Crawdads Sing: 97% of our audience voted it excellent or good, so we obviously made a good choice with this one!
Intriguing from the start and ambiguous right to the end.
A good representaion of the book, which was wonderful.
My House in Umbria: 88% of our audience voted it excellent or good, with the others still fairly pleased.
Wonderful. Excellent acting from a great cast
A good story and feel-good by the end.
Living: 84% of our audience voted it excellent or good.
Slow-burner this one, but excellent once it got going.
Bill Nighy at his most relaxed! But maybe things did move slower back then!
Bill Nighy’s a great actor, and in this performance, he is on his best form.
I found it very depressing, especially the singing of ‘The Rowan Tree’ at the end. It was my husband’s favourite song…, so maybe it just struck too close to home.
And for those who asked: yes – it was Bill Nighy who did the singing.
Mrs Harris Goes to Paris: 78% of our audience voted it excellent or good.
ligh-hearted feel good film in a sentimental style.
Loved it!
Some unbelievabe moments e.g. in the train station, her own tailormade dress, and the coincidences!
Serendipidy throughout!
A touch of the female worker standing up for her rights – compare Made in Dagenham?
Top Gun: Maverick: almost all the audience thought it was great – fabulous!
Has to be seen on the big screen to get the full effect of the awesome flying sequences.
Slow storyline, but flying was great!
Hope Iranian audiences were not too upset!
1917: very realistic and so harrowing; the sound, single-shot camera work and big screen swept you along on the journey beside them.
Completely immersive, horrifying and challenging but showing the close comradeship between the men and both extremes in attitude by those in command.
Clearly illustrated the lottery of survival during the conflict.
Butch Cassidy & the Sundance Kid: Paul Newman; Robert Redford; need I say more! Katherine Ross!!
There were more comedy moments than I had remembered. It was good.
Hard to believe that the film was based on true story – but it was! I wonder what did happen to Etta Place?
A great yarn of two bad, but likeable, rogues.
The Dressmaker: One of the best films I’ve seen in ages!
Hard to describe – drama one minute, black comedy the next, heart-warming while sad at the same time.
Brutal! Not sure I want to live in that part of Australia!
Possibly typical of goings-on in an isolated small town anywhere.
Quirky. More twists than a python. Entertaining. Loved the 1950s dresses.
The Incredible Journey: Heartwarming, a good choice for Christmas.
A bit slow – maybe a film of its time.
Acting was rather wooden – by the humans!
How did they do the real wild animal sequences without a green screen?
Evita: “Don’t Cry for Me Argentina” is one of my favourites – but much prefer Julie Covington’s version.
Loved it – could watch it again & again. Great dancing & orchestration.
Good music – shame about the singing from Madonna!
Going straight home to read history of Peron’s Argentina – learned lots from the film!
Thought provoking!
Belfast: Some gritty realism played out through a family story.
A desired, though rather unlikely, ending – taken from High Noon?
Took a while to tune in to the accents – might have benefited from subtitles!?
Bohemian Rhapsody: What can I say – fab-u-lous!
Madness of King George: With this film I saw this period from a totally different perspective. Great!
Cabaret: Liza Minelli at her best!
Matriarch: Dark – very dark …
Hot Fuzz: Hilarious!
Rubbish!
Chocolat: Endearing and enchanting.
Manon des Sources: Satisfying conclusion to the tragedy in Jean de Florette.
Green Book: Showing cancelled due to Covid.
Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Society: Showing cancelled due to Covid.
