Rob Roy

1995

★★★½ Watched

Mostly just an okay period piece, but it does have one great sword fight in it at the end that’s worth watching

Friendship

2024

★★★½ Watched

It really does mostly feel like an extended sketch, which is to the benefit of some of the jokes/bits, but honestly I think for the most part hurts the film. It goes sort of 0 to 60 in the way a sketch, being shorter form, has to, but because it has to run much longer than an average sketch it just kind of can’t sustain itself from there and starts to feel really tedious and repetitive at times. Like instead…

James Acaster: Hecklers Welcome

★★★½ Liked Watched

Still definitely enjoyable but I have to it I don’t think it’s nearly as good as Repertoire or Cold Lasagne. To be fair those set incredibly high bars, but even so.

I think this movie would be even better if Lupita Nyong’o played every character instead of just two. Not because I don’t like the rest of the cast, but just because I think most movies would be improved if Lupita Nyong’o played every single character
