A wish is humanity’s way of avoiding the hard work it takes to make a dream come true; the immediate hit of gratification in problem solving or gaining advantage is there as a get out clause for the thought it takes to embrace the struggle and see the objective from all sides, to take every possible move into consideration.

Lucy, Film Review. Picturehouse@F.A.C.T., Liverpool.

Scarlett Johansson seems to be everywhere you look during the last couple of years. Not only is that a testament to the actor’s work, productivity and sheer enjoyment for cinema goers but it stands in good stead for the fact that in her latest cinematic release, Lucy, she really is everywhere. In a film which for the most part plays fast and loose with the cinema fan’s intelligence, Ms. Johansson, along with the ever reliable Morgan Freeman, the wonderful find of Amr Waked and Min-sik Choi, gives a performance that at least makes her stand out amongst the backdrop of instability and sometimes utterly ridiculous story line.
