Peter's Friends
Very accurate take on the relationships that bind friends and lovers in their early 30s. I identified with it. But it was weepier than I expected so have the tissues ready. Poor performance from Brannagh (as always) and Slattery was weak, but the rest of the cast, Thompson, Laurie and Fry in particular, more than compensated for this.

A forerunner to This Life 2!
The costumes may now appear a little dated but the dialogue still stands up to some scrutiny. This did remind me a bit of This Life 2 when friends of yester year get together in the country in a great big old house and we see what happens. That's where the comparison ends though. This is witty, well scripted and thoughtful. Without getting on its soap box it speaks of issues that affect all our lives and those of our friends whilst wrapping up these issues in a cloak of wit and humour. You will laugh at this film. Enjoy it. You can tell that most of the actors were friends themselves when this film was made. It comes at you through the screen.

Our MPs may act like lemmings, and poor old Susan Boyle is surely the British cultural icon we deserve… but as this week’s cinema release Last Chance Harvey proves, Emma Thompson prevails, a comforting reminder of Empire and order, a Britain where quality, common sense and self-deprecating wit trump tabloid fame and sleaze. She would demur, I’m sure, but Thompson is your mum’s idea of what a British film star Read more
