Mini-Review: Easy going and entertaining.
Mini-Review: A complicated plot, not knowing what was going on, a dreary colour scheme, and unlikeable characters may be what the director intended. The general opinion seems to be that you need to see this twice. An excellent cast and superb acting.
Mini-Review: Slow and depressing. Beautifully acted and thought provoking.
Mini-Review: Enjoyable film exploring human emotions and reactions. It was beautifully filmed with moments of warmth and humour.
Mini-Review: The lead character is a very believable, complex tormented soul. The film offers few explanations as to why and the ending was left open for interpretation. Intriguing but lacked something to make me really connect with it.
Mini-Review: Lots to think about, in this very thoughtful and moving film.
Mini-Review: Average friday night entertainment with the kids.
Mini-Review: Very very slow but beautifully filmed. It offers a different view of what it must have been like for settlers heading west into the unknown.
Mini-Review: Hard hitting and completely worrying if you have teenagers. Full of sad characters trying to find their way in life and failing dismally. Filmed and edited in a modern, jerky way that will appeal to the young. I am probably too old to enjoy this film but appreciate it’s appeal.
Mini-Review: A solid adaptation of the book, which is a great read. However it didn't add anything new to the images I already had in my head. Jennifer Lawrence is spot on as Katniss.
