Went with great Expectations
First warning sign was the film is financed by Film 4
Its a quirky film with loads of swearing
There are some good performanacies
But my overall view was the script writers ran out of ideas
And don't talk to me about the
ENDING
6/10
I notice this the hot favourite for best
PICTURE

I'm seeing it on Wednesday, 8.3 on IMDb and 93% on the Tomatometer. On the face of it it appears to be exactly the sort of film I'd really like, I'm expecting it to be excellent. I'll post my tuppence worth review when I've seen it.

Oldman must be a certainty for the Oscar. |

Watched it 3 days ago,i got into it easily enough and was enjoying it but as said earlier the ending.Maybe it leaves itself open for a sequel but ffs.

Outstanding film with brilliant performances. Frances McDormand surely wins best actress and will take a lot of beating for best film too.

quirky offbeat,has the mood of a coen bros,worth a watch definitely but nothing outstanding about it

frances mc seems very samey to me in the stuff ive seen her in,competent enough
|

By:
Seen some mixed reviews on this film and the trailer doesn't look that good, I do like Frances McDormand, and also the way she embraces her age, must be nearly 60 now and never had any plastic surgery, unlike a lot of 'em !

Watched Darkest Hour at the weekend. Very enjoyable. Amazed to see it only 7.4 on IMDB. Probably needed cgi of Dunkirk and a bit more shagging to get higher.
Was looking forward to 3 billboards..... |

By:
very good film...if you dont get the ending, you dont get the film imo

Please don't give anything away, I'm really looking forward to seeing it at The Brixton Ritzy on Wednesday!

Great movie - takes a lot to keep my attention to the end. Great performances and some dark humour. 9/10.

All the Money in the World ( Getty Film ) recommended casemoney Thats Next one on my List RL ,Spacey removed from it Emergency replacement stand-in Plummer's just landed the Oscar nomination (best supporting actor). Spacey will be seething.  |

I really liked it - ending was fine, not typical Hollywood, and all the better for that

I think Ladybird wins Best Picture

Cant get over Spacey tbh , Always Liked him ,Seemed a Decent guy

Anyone ever see Birdman ? It won a load of awards , the worst film ive ever seen !
|
|
By:
if its worse than Lost In Translation I'll eat my hat

didnt mind LIT

I can't go and watch tonight unfortunately, I've got a bit of a family drama to deal with!

Slippy do you mind me asking what nationality you are? I used to live in brixton and east Dulwich during the 80's and 90's.
|

By:
Decent film. Has a chance of winning best film in what i think was a very poor year of films. I tonya and battle of the sexes are two films ive seen recently worth a watch. All the money in the world is good as well. Plummer i think will win the oscar. One bet i think is a good one for the Oscar is Dunkirk to pick up best director. Currently around 3/1.
|

By:
Dunkirk was 3/1 before nominations gone in since. Probably no longer a good bet.

G Hall, both my parents were Irish, Mum a Dubliner and Dad from Tullamore in County Offaly. They met in Brixton where I was born in the 1966. It was the era of the "no Irish, no blacks, no dogs" when trying to get a place to rent and Brixton was a place where the people coming over for work back then settled. I'm very proud of my Irish roots, middle name Patrick after my Grandfather. I was in Lordship Lane earlier today getting a few dinners in the M&S store opposite the Lord Palmerston pub. Had a cheeky lunchtime livener of course, as one does.

Ending a bit weak, however best film I've seen in a long while, great acting by all concerned.
Frances McDormand and Sam Rockwell must win their nomination categories. |
|
By:
thought Birdman and Lost In Translation were both very good films as was St Vincent another Bill Murry film

Cheers slippy I lived in loughborough road in brixton for a while and also in melbourne grove in east Dulwich amongst other places

I know Loughborough Junction well, I had a house there back in the day that I rented out. The Green Man and The Hero Of Switzerland pubs nearby. I'm happy in my place in Dulwich now, can't see me ever moving again.

Watched it (Three Billboards) today. The woman, don't know who she is, was outstanding. It's a very good film. Watch it.
I don't rate Dunkirk. |
|
By:
So many reservations about this film, yet still enjoyed it. The good outways the questionable (for me, anyway). Frances McDormand was so good, but maybe the film is getting more hype than it deserves.

I thought the scene with the vicar was great
Plus, have drunk in green man, hero of Switzerland, The Canterbury, etc etc. (Anyone remember the Paulet arms) |
