The Kite Runner 10/12/17
by ScarletLion
The plot is based on an interesting tale and apparently a fine book which I've not read, but the film is reliant on obvious, manipulative ways to try and trigger audience emotions.

That said, it was an entertaining movie with a few laughs and a tear or 2, and although it didnt quite live up to my expectations, Id recommend it easily as one of the top films of 2017 so far.
Rabbit Hole 6/28/17

The main problem I had with the film is the lack of chemistry between Nicole Kidman and Aaron Eckhart.
Ratcatcher 5/22/17

I can't say that downbeat films get to me, as if a film is good then it's good and I feel glad that I just watched a terrific film rather than "depressed" at it's content.
The Salesman 3/06/17
by ScarletLion
It's an interesting revenge tale that intertwines Arthur Miller's play 'Death of a Salesman' with a similar real life quandry, and the resemblance of the play and the movie's plot is familiar, but not so similar that it causes the movie to lose focus.

It's about time Ayoade directed something else, I'm convinced he has at least 1 great film in him.
