Film Reviews by SM

Some girl-on-girl action to start with, then a crime caper with growing tension leading to to an excellent ending. Thoroughly enjoyable!

I do recommend this Spanish film, a rather darker interpretation of the Snow White story set in the context of the bullfighting arena. No handsome princes or magic mirrors, but instead a story of love, courage and devotion - and a really nasty stepmother. The girl who plays the younger Snow White (Sofia Oria) is a delight.

I urge you to see this film, which is based on a true story. (Google it if you don't believe me). If it wasn't, it would seem ridiculous - you'd spend the whole time thinking, what a load of rubbish, no one would act like this - just like the moron CP who gave this film a "dreadful" review. Sparely put together, it lets the story speak, with the director keeping as detached as is possible. The impact on the lives of the actual people affected has continued to live with them.

An excellent film, I'd highly recommend it. A dark, psychological thriller of the kind you don't get to see much of these days, with a definite weird twist. The director, Dominick Moll, is superb - I'd also highly recommend Here's Harry ... another of his films with a dark comic twist.
