Film Reviews by JH

Probably the most boring film in the world. No action, slow paced, Tilda Swinton moving like a zombie. Was there a plot? Was there a message?

One of the saddest, most beautiful films I've seen. Well acted, cinematography lovely, storyline so moving.

One of the worst films I've ever seen. Badly acted, unconvincing, looks as though it was made on a very small budget.

Expected a series, but got separate short films. Gave up after 'episode' 2--complete nonsense! Came recommended, so very disappointed.

Would review, but couldn't understand any of it as we had no subtitles!!! Tried all the 'cures' listed on this website, but nothing worked. How disappointing.

I don't want sex and excitement, and this film is right up my street! OK--a bit slow maybe, but interesting and thought-provoking story line and good acting.

Here is a non-grumpy review. This is a gentle, feel-good film that packs no surprises. Music fitted the theme--nothing to take exception to. Just don't over-think this one, and you'll enjoy it.

An interesting film--more like a documentary than a feature film. Having worked in a benefits office, I didn't recognise the way in which it was portrayed here, and I found he storyline somewhat skewed to the 'side' of the benefit claimant. But overall--quite enjoyable.

Beautifully shot, hauntingly moving. Afflek was so vulnerable, so fragile. Longish, yes, but I was absorbed.

Easy viewing, mildly amusing--wouldn't put it in my top ten. Nothing to get your teeth into, but OK for a Sunday afternoon!
