Mini film review
Joyride – Aug 2022
What is it about?
A supposed on-the-run caper between a lost mum and a lost boy.
Do I recommend this film?
No
What is good about it?
Olivia Coleman is fascinating to watch – one scene, her character talking about a seaside childhood incident was excellent.
What is bad about it?
It’s implausible, there is a lot of ham acting and the script does not stack up. Unconvincing from the off. As if it’s trying to be something.
Is it worth seeing though?
Only if you love gazing at the skill of Coleman.
Do I agree with this review?
The headline, yes, totally. And the score.
NB
Why do I write these?
Coz’ am looking for inspiration for my own work, to share excellence also.
