If you haven’t seen this film, I would highly recommend it. I have not laughed in a cinema like this since A Fish Called Wanda! It’s a glorious film with an extraordinary performance from a young Abigail Breslin. Quite the best thing I’ve seen for a long time!
PORGY & BESS was a disappointment. A really excellent cast but it somehow didn’t connect and I was actually a little bored. Very hard to work out why it didn’t reach me – and it didn’t seem to reach the audience either, who were polite but once removed from the experience. How strange theatre can be.
