Shorty’s Film Reviews

188 Films have been rated or reviewed by Shorty.

You Kill Me (2007): Inarticulate hit–man opens up, so to speak. Very funny.
Patrick Melrose (TV Series) (2018): A story both harrowing and hilarious. Cumberbatch is impressive.; DVD $34.95
Missionary, The (1982): Plays like a frothy music hall revue, with lots of comic business for your delectation.
Gattaca (1997): Standard Hollywood 'our–human–spirit–won't–ever–be–tamed' schtick in sci–fi garb.
Whistle Down the Wind (1964): Delightful tale set in the atmospheric hills of Lancashire.
Who You Think I Am (Celle que vous croyez) (2019): Social media as a house of mirrors. Haunting.; DVD $29.95
Private Function, A (1985)
Death and the Maiden (1994): Ben Kingsley is excellent. Descent into a heart of darkness indeed!
George Harrison and Friends: The Concert for Bangladesh (1972): Free from hype or ego, this concert is still one of rock's most eloquent moments. Ravi Shankar and Ali Akbar Khan 'rock' too.
Fisher King, The (1991): Modern rom–com crossed with a medieval legend – and it works!
