The Beautiful Game (2024)
A beautiful game
I watched this with my parents who have limited enjoyment of the sport, however the emotion and character storyline transcend the sport. It was compelling viewing and had my parents cheering, up on their feet and crying at times.
As a football fan, I found Vinnys character arch very believable, knowing the amount of players and people professional sports churns out, seeing Vinny get closure from Bill Nye brought a tear to my eye.
This film has given me some faith in the recent slew of netflix movies and given me reason to continue my subscription.
I have since watching read that this is somewhat rooted in the real homeless world Cup, with several ex players and coaches being involved. Personally this film has drawn much needed attention to a well worth social topic hence my review.
The Adam Project (2022)
Surprising timetravel comedy action
A surprise feel good film that makes light of heavy science fiction topics whilst not losing the details and boring the audience- a perfect balance.
The casting choice kept it interesting and relatable, and I found yound Adams performance inspirational.
Lakewood (2021)
A frustrating watch
The premise of the movie revolves around a seemingly endless jog through a woods with a frustrating amount of phonecalls. The tension was built through an injury which seemed to come and go and camera angles which made it impossible to concentrate at times. About 45 minutes in I decided I was too invested to turn it off, however by the resolution I regret watching it to the end.
