Shorty’s Film Reviews

188 Films have been rated or reviewed by Shorty.

Wind Will Carry Us, The (2001): Intriguing.
Banshees of Inisherin, The (2022): Dark, dark, dark.
Voyage Round My Father, A (1983): "Angry? I'm always angry when I'm dying!"
Savage Innocents, The (1960): Well–meaning tosh in which 'eskimo' are depicted as giggling children. However, one glorious location shot of walruses stands out.
Zone of Interest, The (2023): Shocking in the best sense.; DVD $29.95 | Blu-Ray $34.95
My Old School (2022): Sad, fascinating example of the kind of rabbit hole the human mind can go down.
Translators, The (Les Traducteurs) (2020): The James Bond–Agatha Christie–Marcel Proust vibe makes for a load of fun.; DVD $29.95
Stunt Man, The (1980): Wizard idea for a satire on moviemaking! Pity about the self–indulgent script.
Effie Gray (2014): Victorian sexual repression in some sumptuous settings. A bit pedestrian in the telling.
Grow Your Own (The Allotment) (2007): "I wasn't dead. I was in Leicester."
