A long day in college today, dovetailed nicely by Wicked Little Letters the lightweight black comedy with a suitably shocking potty mouth . I liked it, as the cast of this true story was to die for, and all of them looked as though they were having a glorious time filming it, There was some major scene stealing by Joanna Scanlon ( in a heavyweight bra) and a feisty Eileen Atkins which I loved
However it was Timothy Spall who turned out to be one of the most repulsive cinematic baddies since Scar in the Lion King, that surprised the most. His performance was truly and genuinely frightening .
This is my sister’s review on Facebook , it made me laugh
Back at work all day tomorrow .
A perfect antidote for all day college, that essay writing, and day shift tomorrow.
ReplyDeleteLoved Janet's summation!!
Hugs!
It was filthy froth
DeleteI hope Spall was wearing heavy make-up, otherwise he hasn't aged well. He'd make a very good Baron Hardup too.
ReplyDeleteHe's lucky to be ageing at all. The poor man's in remission from leukaemia. Spare a thought.
DeleteThat is why he looks so menacing , weight loss and acting
DeleteI've got to see this one! Sounds like it was the perfect end to a hard day. xx
ReplyDeleteYou don’t have to think much
DeleteIt sounds like a film worth seeing... especially if they have stuck to the facts.
ReplyDeleteA good interlude for you !
I doubt it , I haven’t had time to research the real story as yet xx
DeleteSounds quite naughty.
ReplyDeleteLots of fuckity fuck fuck
DeleteHoping to get to see it soon.

DeleteI'm looking forward to seeing this film and Janet's review makes me want to see it all the more. 😃
ReplyDeleteShe was swearing like a trooper as we walked out
DeleteI am a great admirer of Spall. He can play any character. The film sounds interesting and perhaps I can see it here, as I have done in the past after your recommendations.
ReplyDeleteEnjoy xx
DeleteThe film starts here in April, so I will mark it on my calendar and take myself to see it. I love British comedy and the more fowl mouthed, the better. It sounds like fun. Gigi
ReplyDeleteLook out for the supporting ladies, they are a hoot
DeleteIt sounds like fun, I need to start watching films. Searching this, I found the nearest "art house" theater in the area, about 30 minutes drive away.
ReplyDeleteGet your arse into gear
DeleteJanet has the gift.
ReplyDeleteIt runs in the blood
DeleteThanks for the recommendation, it's now on my list.
ReplyDeleteI've never seen anything that Timothy Spall has been in that wasn't good.
Love the blog by the way, I nearly went down the counselling route but ended up in fencing and groundwork!
Do tell me more
DeleteGlad you enjoyed the film, John. A perfect treat after your hard work!
ReplyDeleteJanet and I are off to Dune on Friday
DeleteThe film sounds a delight, and with such a strong cast how can it be otherwise? 😊 On my "must see' list.
