Film Review : December

A few films I've seen recently.....

1. A Streetcar Named Desire

1951

Based on the play by Tennessee Thomas.

Starring Marlon Brando and Vivian Leigh.

Imdb rating 8.1

I was a little distracted when I saw this, so I should probably see it again to give it a fair rating. 

The characters were portrayed brilliantly, and it challenges issues like rape and domestic abuse. 

2. One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest

1975

Based on the novel by Ken Kesey 

Starring Jack Nicholson and Danny DeVito 

Imdb rating 8.8

This was a brilliant film, and I would definitely recommend it. 

The characters are really intriguing, and it has a surprise ending!

3. Winter's bone

2010

Based on the novel by Daniel Woodrell 

Starring Jennifer Lawrence

Imdb rating 7.3

Quite a slow film, although really interesting story line.

You can really sympathise with Ree, the main character, she plays the part brilliantly.

4. Enid 

2009

Directed by James Hawes 

Starring Helena Bonham Carter and a few other familar faces

Imdb rating 6.7

Based on Enid Blyton's life, it tells the story of her career and her family life. 

I really enjoyed this made for tv film as I love Helena Bonham Carter!
