Little Men **** (2016, Greg Kinnear, Jennifer Ehle, Paulina García, Theo Taplitz, Michael Barbieri, Alfred Molina, Talia Balsam) – Movie Review
Ira Sachs’s 2016 family drama Little Men is a very sweet and also very sad movie, beautifully acted, wisely written and nicely realised. Greg Kinnear does wonders to light up a none-too-sympathetic role as the weak-willed, […]

Swedish writer-director Ingmar Bergman’s enchanting 1955 bitter-sweet story about couples struggling to sort out their complicated romances at a weekend in the country in late-19th century Sweden makes for a delightful and sympathetic movie. There, the ageing […]
Fanny and Alexander [Fanny och Alexander] ***** (1982, Bertil Guve, Pernilla Allwin, Ewa Fröling, Kristina Adolphson, Allan Edwall) – Classic Movie Review 3934
Writer-director director Ingmar Bergman (1918–2007) retired from cinema film-making after this stupendous, four Oscar-winning 1982 swansong to the movies. It is a beautiful, endlessly rewarding, masterly and sumptuous family saga, full of telling references to both his […]
