Sometimes a film has such a serious and important story to tell that it can try a little too hard. The ambition behind Suffragette is commendable and it is a good film but I couldn’t help feel that it was over-selling … Continue reading Suffragette (2015) Review
The Judge has all the ingredients needed to be a great film but then loses it’s way in the third act. The cast is perfect for the roles they play, the story is an intriguing one with great development as the … Continue reading The Judge (2014) Review
