Carol – review

19/01/2016 by Peter Viney

Review added of Carol,(LINKED) with Cate Blanchett & Rooney Mara. Evocative romance set in early 50s, but with more smoking than “Mad Men” you wouldn’t fancy having to do much kissing. Not that they do. They mainly smoulder. As do innumerable cigarettes.

Joy – review

05/01/2016 by Peter Viney

Review of Joy (linked), directed by David O. Ruseell, starring Jennifer Lawrence, Robert de Niro and Bradley Cooper. Very much a successor to Silver Linings and American Hustle resting on a great lead performance by Jennifer Lawrence. Bit can a story about a better mop being sold on a shopping channel truly wipe the floor?

Macbeth- Young Vic review

13/12/2015 by Peter Viney

Review of Macbeth at the Young Vic in a dance-theatre production which still retains a lot of text and has an outstanding Macbeth in John Heffernan. This got some poor reviews. We thought it brilliant.
