Tim H This is a really nice movie, Based on a true story. It's nice that the real life son of the lady that saved the cinema stars in the movie as well. Also rod Gilbert stars . Is a lovely feel good movie. A real see. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/17/23 Full Review r 9 A pretty cool true story, but the film itself? Rather poor. 'Save the Cinema' is simply too on the nose for my liking, it's cringey in a fair few bits and even pretentious in others. It does have a good cast, though that aside it struggles to get away from the fact that it feels like a made-for-television Christmas-esque movie - literally so with the plot. Samantha Morton, Jonathan Pryce and Tom Felton are as solid as you'd expect, though the Welsh accents kept taking me out of it - Pryce was born in Wales admittedly, yet even his accent sounded off... might just be me though. I didn't overly like any of that trio's, or their co-star's tbh, performances though, I just like Morton/Pryce/Felton from others things more than anything. I wouldn't say this is a bad film, it's just a really lousy one in my opinion. I could see it finding an audience though. Rated 2/5 Stars •  Rated 2 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Audience Member A feel good movie with heart. The politics stuff is irritating as that's not how local elections work in Wales. Town mayors are not directly elected and planning decisions are the responsibility of the lead council, the County (Carmarthenshire). Apart from that the story is sweet and based on real events and people. The cast are likeable and play the individuals well, especially Samantha Morton as the lead who manages a Welsh accent well. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/10/23 Full Review Audience Member This is a great feel good movie It great that it really happened.

Check it out its really good family viewing Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/21/23 Full Review Audience Member What a fabulous feel good film. Cast were superb at retelling the tale. Warm, funny and Welsh! A true delight Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/13/23 Full Review Audience Member The main character is not Welsh and tries a bit too hard. The accent is cliched and forced. The only two people of colour are both on the negative end of the spectrum. The mayor is out and of evil and supporting actress Ms. Wokoma's character is portrayed as miserly and deceitful (the characters dislike of paying her way is alluded to at least twice) bother these characteristics have been used traditionally to denigrate Welsh people. Only have it one star because otherwise it wouldn't let me leave comments. Rated 1/5 Stars •  Rated 1 out of 5 stars 02/25/23 Full Review Read all reviews
