5-line #SydFilmFest @limerickreview review ✺ DISOBEDIENCE bit.ly/2kPDlXV #Disobedience (screening at SFF June 6, 8 & 10 + general release June 14)

Chappaquiddick (2017) - A young life lost, and the Senator’s worried his career will sour. Terrific work from Clarke (Re: Ted’s darkest hour). Advisers descend (to handle The impending tabloid scandal). An engaging study of hubris, privilege and power... ow.ly/G1JG50gXq7q

Ready Player One (2018) - Virtual Oasis, and bleak future-Ohio slums where actual bodies reside Are the two worlds here. Some real clunkiness in the screenplay aside, So much here's genuinely funny and clever. I could watch Rylance’s Halliday forever,... ow.ly/mKHS50gXdxc

LBJ (2017) - A simplistically told tale of the presidency that began With the demise of the second son from the Kennedy clan. There’s drama in his fight for Southern backing. But, sadly: overall, the film is lacking Any real depth of insight into Lynd... ow.ly/TYji50gXclp

Tully (2018) - Marlo’s under enormous pressure. Offered help by her bro (Mr Success). She initially declines, but will eventually acquiesce. Though one plot development falls flat There’s the gift of two central performances that Shine - in this truly... ow.ly/jtzo50gPzVh

Love, Simon (2018) - Though he has supportive friends, and his family’s loving and warm, Simon’s afraid that living his truth would cause a storm. An excessively charming cast. Rothwell’s Albright: what a blast! Refreshing change (popular genre, with ... ow.ly/KT4F50gPxl1

The Death of Stalin (2017) - Those on the murderous leader’s list couldn’t duck it. (Including Maria’s fam) So a note: she stuck it In his record sleeve. Iannucci and team achieve Hilarious results (after old Joe kicks the bucket). ow.ly/APKI50gPuRP

Tune in to Film Fight Club tonight 7:30PM @2ser - we'll be covering all things #Oscars, who won and who was robbed, plus #GameNight which has virtually no chance of being nominated for anything next year but really should be with special guest @lisamalouf from @limerickreview!

Latest review on site: The Square (2017) - Biting satire. Much to ponder: the absurd; the grave (Disturbing live exhibit with the power to enslave). Societal responsibility: well explored. Some spot-on humour struck a chord. Running time: could’ve rea... ow.ly/hrzd50gGRit

Latest review on site: I, Tonya (2017) - Robbie: phenomenal, in a film with structural issues, (which reduces To black humour some instances of domestic abuses). So Tonya’s shunned (‘uncouth; non-fancy’), But what about Nancy?: The (gagged) true victi... ow.ly/yWpL50gGRiw

Latest review on site: Peter Rabbit (2018) - Demise of their nemesis McGregor (grumpy sod) Spells momentary freedom for this animal squad. Creature effects: beautifully-rendered. But various tonal shifts tended To feel somewhat awkward (and came acros... ow.ly/z6pg50gGRiu
