Film Reviews by PP

Awefull!

A good idea, it looks like it would be interesting but its just short cuts rapidly cycling references and disconnected.

Very young accademics crowbarring in cynical political theories, obsessed not by making the world a better place, but perfecting their own image. Further generations of accademics who learn their views from books and not from life.

Is it nostalgic to want to live in the countryside ???? Its an alt far right view that life is better lived on the internet !

It would have been far more useful to do a run down of 20 best . This was such a frantic pace that i dont remember the name of a single film i want to see. Epic Fail.

I love black and white films like this but i tend to fast forward alot, this is so watchable and so relaxing you dont need to.

A Lovely languid watching experience. Dick Powell is perfect, he probably was very famous at the time but he definately deserves more attention now.

At first i found it a bit meh, but it grows on you. I always like the contrast of extraordinary characters having a normal life, they really achieve ordinariness in a light hearted, nice guy way in their day job.

Super-Cosy/Exciting is an underused spectrum. Im very suprised that netflix says it has mostly male fans as there is nothing here to put off women, and there are alot of superhero things i dont like.

love the dark, rainy, low lit cinnematography and The acting is suprisingly authentic and real considering this is fantasy, not an easy thing to achieve.

Great premis. Could have been a bit snappier, splice in a bit of the chaos of Nathan Barley and it would be perfect. With Big Art you can afford to milk the pretentious characters even more.

Uma is great .

people laugh at harry potter for being so dreadful but this is just as bad. He too has just taken an encyclopedia of the occult, thrown it up in the air, writen down a few exotic sounding words cobbled together this drivel. It isnt empowering to pretend that children can OR SHOULD comprehend, let alone take on evil at its source. Its a very bizzare media habit at the moment to super-empower weak and powerless people.

The very essence of life is to emrace ones total impotence over everything . Bloody typical of a middle class academic guilty rich "liberals" with an easy life to obsessively fetishise this kind of massive fake over-empowerment. And frankly i think its dangerous!

August Boal had interesting theory that Aristotolian catharsis was a very bad thing for society, it relieves people of their revolutionary passion, like people who talk about politics at dinner.
