Rent It Snows in Benidorm (2020)

Prap's it me ,but? - It Snows in Benidorm review by NR

I thought it was just a peon to Benidorm for some time into the film,as it is so slow to develop!

Timothy Spall turns in another of his current bemused old man performances,which don't seem to take much effort.

The plot build up is so sluggish,that it play's out like the first episode of a tv series.They just set the predictable scene,and you think it will be interesting to see what happens in future episodes,and then it ends and you remember there are no further episodes.Or are there?

Hey ho ?

Slow Drama - It Snows in Benidorm review by GI

A low key, slow paced drama with a mystery in the narrative that allows the journey of self discovery of a dull chap to occur. Timothy Spall, one of Britain's acting treasures, plays Peter, a bachelor who is forced to retire from the Manchester bank he has worked at all his life. His daily routines are shattered when he finds nothing to do so he decides to visit his brother who lives in Benidorm. Peter views life through the prism of his amateur meteorology passion, taking endless pictures of clouds, but he is unprepared when he finds his brother has disappeared. The film is then mainly concerned with Peter bumbling around the bright night streets of this tourist town with the director highlighting the crass nature of tourism and the mainly British luddites that frequent it. Peter is aided in his quest by a love interest played impeccably by Sarita Choudhury. Spall is however as good as always in this character piece. It's a quirky little film that won't be for everyone but it's worth checking out.

You stick with it and then .... - It Snows in Benidorm review by AH

One of those films you think will come to a conclusion for all the time you have investined in it and then it just peters out to ... NOTHING! I rather wish I hadn't bothered. On top of all that, there were no extras - one of the main reasons I am sticking with hired discs instead of streaming.
