Dexter Fletcher
Love At First Sight does retain a predictable nature, but by the film’s end, you will want the predictability.
Cole falls for enigmatic Sadie, before then discovering she’s a secret agent. Soon they are swept away on an international, world-saving adventure.
Gus Edgar, Maria Lattila and Alistair Ryder report from Cannes Film Festival 2019 with reviews of Little Joe, First Love, Rocketman, Atlantics and more.
Rocketman is a musical fantasy about the uncensored human story of Elton John’s breakthrough years.
Between last year’s successful Bohemian Rhapsody and the upcoming Rocketman, music biopics seem to be all the current rage in Hollywood.
Inspired by Alice’s Adventures In Wonderland, Terminal is visually and thematically strong, despite its over-simple script and occasional over-acting – all in all a promising directorial debut for Vaughn Stein.
I have been following the production of Eddie The Eagle for a very long time it seems. I’m a great devotee of director Dexter Fletcher (Sunshine On Leith is excellent), I love a good sports movie, even better, I love a British underdog sports movie. Of course, if you know me or are familiar with me at all you’ll know I also absolutely adore Taron Egerton.
Bring your friends, buy some popcorn, and leave your cynicism at the door, because Eddie the Eagle isn’t hiding its feel-good roots. Based on the story of Great Britain’s first Olympic ski jumper (who oddly went to the same Olympics as the guys from Cool Runnings), this looks to have all the clichés of our most beloved sports movies. Eddie’s going to have the world against him, but with a down-on-his-luck coach and a plucky spirit, he’ll fight to make his dreams come true.
