A well-known play/movie title I had never seen, so slipped it into the machine. No over-wrought hysterics or heroics, so some viewers may yawn, but the understated nature of the drama makes it all the more realistic. The theme is: what…

the stuffiest of British dramas / comedies, a cross between Jane Austen and Oscar Wilde, but with none of either's punch - all characters speak in whispers mostly, spouting portentous inanities thereby in the guise of, limp however,…

A wonderful theatrical period film with a fine cast of actors. This is not a film for everyone, it's slow and feels like a play instead of a movie. But if you like David and Goliath tales or enjoy nuanced charter studies you will enjoy…

I adore period movies and this one had rave reviews, so I was looking forward to watching it. I was pretty disappointed with the movie as a whole. I understand it's based on true event but as a modern viewer, it was a little hard to…

A low-key Mamet masterpiece. In THE WINSLOW BOY Mamet reworks the 1946 Terrence Rattigan play of the same name. It is a celebration of the civilization of Edwardian England -- its rich language, its parliamentary politics, its suffragette…

An amazing true story, that shows the determination of one father to prove the innocence of his son. David Mamet directed this fine British story and has a terrific cast. A fine film for the entire family. KCLS has only one copy, but…

David Mamet did a masterful job of directing Jeremy Northam, Rebecca Pidgeon, and Nigel Hawthorne in this remake of the 1948 version of a father that believes his teenage son is not a forger. I suspect that these may be the best…

David Mamet puts his downbeat touch on Terence Rattigan. In his effort to eliminate every drop of humour from the play, Mamet also oddly diminishes the drama. The cast gives lethargic performances, especially the blank Rebecca Pigeon…

A superbly intelligent film. It's a true story, with incredible acting and inspiring, quotable dialogue....And one of the best endings I've seen. I liked the strengths of this family pulling together - for "Right" at all cost. There…
