Shorty’s Film Reviews

185 Films have been rated or reviewed by Shorty.

Mon Oncle (1958): Genius – especially the garden party.
Long Day Closes, The (1992): Evocative soundtrack.
Rumba (2008): An endearing improvised, silent movie feel.
Swimmer, The (1968): A broken man attempts an odyssey ('I can swim home') across well–heeled suburbia. Sharp and unsettling.
Italian Job, The (1968): The Mini Cooper's finest hour (and a half).
Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf? (1966): Beside the top–class scenery chewing there's the stunning black and white photography.
Living is Easy with Eyes Closed (2013): Featherweight plot, but as a Beatles fan I was charmed. Real strawberry fields!
Peking Opera Blues (1986): The action never pauses to take a breath. Subtitles are hardly needed.
Rosemary's Baby (1968)
Nomadland (2020): Elegaic with social bite.
