Millions (2004)
Feel good film without sentimentality
I saw this as part of the London Film Festival and loved it.
The story was very well told through the eyes of the two pre-teens and the usual sibling rivalry you would expect in real life was present. James Nesbitt was very good in the roll of the boys father although his 'northern' accent was a little strange, and its always nice to see Daisy Donovan in anything
Once the film ended the audience must have applauded for about 5 minutes, something I have not witnessed for some years now.
See this film, tell your friends to see it and go again with them. (There is also a Clash song used in the soundtrack which is always a good sign)
Pieces of April (2003)
touching feel-good low budget gem
I saw this film as part of the London Film Festival and was very impressed with it. Not having seen Dawson's Creek I could watch Katie Holmes performance without any preconceptions and I thought she was marvellous, as was the excellent Patrica Clarkson. This film works very well because it was made on a low budget and the writer/director manages to get the most out of both his cast and the location. I would recommend everyone who is a little fed up with Hollywood multi million dollar special effect films to go and see this when it opens, and take all your friends with you... you will not be disappointed
