Blu B A Classic Dramedy. It's amazing given the fact we have so many characters that most of them do not blend in and are super memorable. Let alone the fact they are the best things in this and are written very interestingly. The dialouge is good and cynical, the humor is solid, and everyone has solid chemistry. The cinemaography is really well done. The long takes when they are all together have exceptional camerawork and the setting is really memorable. The music is also really well done. The editing and pacing are solid as well. This does jump around a bit with multiple subplots and some wrap up quicker than others. However, it's just so interesting to watch these characters interact and the dramedy unfold between them as they reconnect after so long. It defintely helps the direction is super strong because if these characters didn't pop or weren't as well acted this would take a big step down. This isn't for everyone though that being said. The humor can be a bit mean spirited and cynical for some and it's heavily character driven rather than plot driven. But anyone who likes darker comedies, dramedies, the director, or any actors in this should give this a try.

Rated 1/5 Stars •  Rated 1 out of 5 stars 05/12/24 Full Review Test T Not bad, but I ended up thinking it wasn't my kind of movie. The trouble for me was that not much happened. The characters develop nicely, but to what end? It did keep my attention, but I don't know why.

Not a "Big Chill" movie Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/09/23 Full Review Audience Member A film to watch and remember your own friends before they grew into their grown-up lives! Often scorned because it is set amongst the non-poor - the characters will remind you of someone tou knew. It's a script firmly set in the times it displays - the eighties. Glittering dreams of love have gone sour and for Emma Thomson's character, even flown away forever. However, stay for the witty Rita Rudner's point of view of the mess our lives become without much effort. She wrote with her husband, and they merely had to look around for wealthy not-so-young things and copy down their lives, stick them in a lovely English manor and wait. Their problems are serious yet deftly layered with Kenneth Brannaugh's light directional touch. It has the rollicking pace of the more innocent wealth-fest Four Weddings and a Funeral - you'll expect Hugh Grant to appear in his bow tie. But it swoops into the sadness of Love Actually in a mere moment. It's a story of friends well told. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/19/23 Full Review Read all reviews
