23 Films have been rated or reviewed by Cruella.

Where Angels Fear to Tread (1991): Coming of age Victorian gay scene contrasted from England to Italy. No subtitles, hope you understand Italian. Io lo parlo.Incredible cast.
My Boy Jack (2007): Carey Mulligan Revival//Love watching early Carey. Spiffing WWII – young man trying to get into the casualty lists. Like my dad. Loved every minute.
Beatriz at Dinner (2017): Salma, stop making American movies. They are as predictable as snow in April. Boring twats and vegans on quaaludes.
Bleak House (Mini-series) (2005): Weird camera angles and abrupt swings from character to character. Andrew Davies pulls it off. My favourite Dickens. Highly recommended, unless you get vertigo.
Death of Stalin, The (2017): Really angry. Stalin killed millions. Film a farce, but GOOD farce. Will this inspire film history? Doubt it. Sauna room scene the best.rn
Judging Amy (TV Series) (1999-2005): Tedious but Feisty//Binge watched. Thought it was remake – Judge Judy. Way too hot betw. sis and bro. His girlfriend a cougar. Watch and see why USA is tired.; DVD $49.95
Last Black Man in San Francisco, The (2019): Gentrification and Red Lining/ Sensitive and joyful script, some really sad bits, worth watching for the history of San Fran and the friendships explored. 40 Acres & Mule influence.
Certain Women (2016): Forget Me2. Here are all the cliches of sexy women in small towns. They only sleep with married men and are all secret lesbians who turn in good men gone bad to save their professional status. Ho Hum, been there, burned the T–shirt.
Clouds of Sils Maria (2014): No accident that Racine's and Rilke's languages grace this exploration of emotion in the sterile Swiss Alps. The snake enters Eden with a vulpine roar – and the winner is the audience.
2046 (2004): Thought 'Get Happy' was my fav, but nah. Such style, and this time, I get to play along with the main actors. Straight up, I just love that little girl from CTHD, but the MAN – yum. Definitely a film for ex–RNZ miseries and the hopeless in love.
