Irish Wish (2024)
Wishes Do Come True
I loved this, starting with the script! The balance of creative storytelling, along with such great physical comedy, reminded me of old hollywood movies. It was smart too, no dumbing down for the audience & the pace was perfect. The story just clipped along & there wasn't a wasted word or scene. I was really impressed by the great job Lindsay did, swinging between drama, physical comedy & romance. I loved how the heart of the story was about Her learning to tell Her story! A great movie for everyone, especially women/girls to see! It was a great vehicle for Lindsay Lohan & definitely had the vibe of a more evolved version of her old classics. I will definitely be watching it on repeat!
On My Own (2020)
Best Short Film
This is truly the Best Short Film I've ever seen! It is fully concise in its storytelling, story arc, character development & message. One always knows where they stand, in viewing this very tight film, if not how it will end. It's a hard thing to tell a fully complete & gripping story within the Short Film genre.... but it is done with aplomb by writer Lee Hunter & brought to life by both actors, Anthony Lewis & Lee Hunter.
Homeless Ashes (2019)
Heartwrenchingly Beautiful
From the breathtaking cinematography of Richard Oakes & the beautiful musical scoring of Mark Wind in the opening of the film, we know this will not only be a story of pain but also of beauty. Life can be painful, whether you live in a penthouse or on the streets. We are reminded that it's not our circumstances that define us, but rather what we do with them that does. The power for me in this film, is that despite whatever hardship or heart wrenching pain Frankie experiences, he never loses his purity of spirit & sense of hope & beauty. Every box is ticked for me in this movie, from the powerfully raw yet beautiful story by George Wilcox, to the breathtaking cinematography of Richard Oakes, to the sublime scoring of Mark Wind. The casting is spot on, with impeccable performances by each actor. Seeing each character & relationship fleshed out by this insanely talented cast, is an absolute masterclass in itself. The only piece that doesn't fit is the fact that this incredible film was not made by a studio & is not only a first time indie film by filmmaker Marc Zammit, in which he also brings the lead character Frankie to life, but it's also his directorial debut! Color be gob smacked! This film, it's Cast & Crew are clearly ones to watch!
