Unbelievably good

Rating: 9/10 (9 July 2016)

This is not my usual type of film - I usually go for action pics. However, I watched this movie after seeing a number of the cast & crew interviews on You Tube and became intrigued.I was absolutely mesmerised by it and could not take my eyes off it. A number of reviews comment that the actors did not look like their real-life counterparts but quite honestly, I could not care less - the acting was amazing. Danny Boyle did say that an intelligent audience would deal with the fact that the actors were not impressionists in the first few minutes, but he obviously over-estimated the intelligence of the general population considering some of the comments. As for the script, I loved it. It reminded me of my English Literature classes many, many years ago where we studied the structure of plays and the use of language and I realised that this would be an excellent exemplar to study. The film was much funnier than I expected too and I am surprised this element has not been picked up by more people. I thoroughly enjoyed the film and would highly recommend it.
