Genuinely entertaining at bits and just plain dull at others. The ending was the high note so you left the cinema in a great mood but the start and middle let it down.

Some particularly gross humor that wasn't to my taste but also some silly stuff that did make me laugh. My main issue was that although it certainly took the mick out of itself, it also felt like it thought it was important and left a bad taste in my mouth. The reactions by certain actors to reviews also put me off as it colored my judgement of characters.

If you are expecting something along the lines of the Disney version of Snow White you are definitely in the wrong place.

Blancanieves is definitely a twist on a tale, and it isn't a happier twist but it is a pleasure to watch.

This film is charming, enjoyable and quite a bit of fun at times. The score was impressive ranging from simple string instrumentals to more traditional Spanish music.

While some of the effects were borderline ridiculous (the heads pasted onto the bodies of real bull fighters were so obvious I had to cringe), it had the right amount of cheese to really pull it off.

The acting was superb all the way through and you knew exactly what was going on with each character at all times - a sure way to know that the cast were up to power.

Highly recommended to any lovers of the Artist or any of the older silent movies.

I am Breathing is really harrowing documentary that shows the end of Neil Platts life. I wish I could say that it was brilliantly made and was a wonderful watch, because the subject matter is definitely worth it, but the documentary itself gave me motion sickness. While there is definitely love and passion behind this project, the use of shaky home video footage made it slightly unpleasant to watch at times.

It was well paced and their choice of showing clips in a non-linear timeline really worked.

The end of the documentary was emotional but I would of liked to have seen some more interviews with people he was close too discussing what life was like with and without him.

While the subject matter of this documentary is important and it is a much watch for people who don't know a lot about the disease, I feel like it could of been a lot better but it does the job of getting the point across.
