A White, White Day (2019): The freshness of the screenplay is aided by the shooting locations. The best scenes are between grandfather and granddaughter and young Ída Mekkín Hlynsdóttir's performance is outstanding.; DVD $29.95
Melody Time (1948): A smorgasbord of entertaining short pieces.
Equity (2016): The screenplay offers no surprises and the characters are all cut from the same usual cloth.
Nobody (2021): It follows the usual path with this kind of screenplay but perhaps it exaggerates things a bit.
BFG, The (Big Friendly Giant) (1989): Delightful storytelling by traditional animation.
Secret of the Grain, The (Couscous) (2007): Two & a half hours & no violence. It is obvious early that the female characters will dominate & they do so mainly in the ensemble pieces where the characters are so true to life – plenty of bickering & bitching. The musical climax is outstanding.
Face (2002): There are some good segments but overall you can't escape the feeling that it has been produced to appeal to a popular audience.
Dolittle (The Voyage of Doctor Dolittle) (2020): Entertaining throughout and the animal action is particularly well done.
Crush, The (1993): Although the screenplay lacks originality Alicia keeps things buzzing and at no stage do things go flat.
La Vie de Jesus (Life of Jesus) (1997): A low key but effective racism drama. The young bored characters are very believable.
