Family. Film Review.

Liverpool Sound and Vision Rating 5/10

Cast: Taylor Schilling, Brian Tyree Henry, Bryn Vale, Allison Tolman, Jessie Ennis, Matt Walsh, Eric Edelstein, Fabrizio Guido, Peter Horton, Blair Beeken, Karen Kendrick, Kate McKinnon.

A tale of redemption is one that cinema cannot fail to embrace, especially when it comes to the idea of Family, the chance shown through a series of misadventures that relationships with those bonded by blood are worth more than blocking the self-absorbed and toxic out of your life, that no matter what, a family member can be redeemed and brought back into the fold.

The Sisters Brothers, Film Review. Picturehouse@F.A.C.T. Liverpool.

The Western was arguably a victim of its own success and the realisation that it held no meaning in an age where certain moments of history were being subject to closer and rightful scrutiny; the gung-ho feel of the interpreted hero and fatalism of the native American’s story not being considered beyond anything other than the role of the villain all combining to make The Western distasteful, to leave a sense of lies captured in the story.

Cast: Billy Bob Thornton, Allison Tolman, Colin Hanks, Martin Freeman, Bob Odenkirk, Keith Carradine, Joey King, Susan Park, Gary Valentine, Keegan-Michael Key, Jordan Peele, Chantel Perron, Andrew Neil McKenzie, Amanda Guenther.

There is always one television series that stands out each year and Fargo could well be it for 2014. If they never make another series then the writer, the Coen brothers and the actors who have been associated with this terrific endeavour will have more than amply done their jobs.

When your back is against the wall, you are capable of many things. In the case of Lester Nygaard, his back is so far against the wall that his shadow is slowly suffocating and franticly using a small hammer to try and dig through to the other side.

God, so Stavros Milos believes, is watching over him, Policewoman Molly Solverson is watching over Lester Nygaard, her boss and Gus Grimly, Mr. Numbers and Mr. Wrench are watching Lester Nygaard as well and Lorne Malvo, well he seems to be pulling the strings behind everybody’s back.

It is the ethos of those who perhaps understand Human behaviour better than the rest of us, who say with certain straight melancholy, that the so called Zombie Apocalypse surely wouldn’t be any worse than what we deal with now. They have a point when the devilish Lorne Malvo can be both cruelly charming and disarmingly brutal, an individual who surely would draw inspiration from the evil spirits that fester alongside and within Christopher Marlow’s Faustus.
