Ideal Home (Film)
Not quite the best name for a film about a gay couple who get stuck with raising a boy, ‘Ideal Home’ has it’s moments but they’re far and few between.

Fashion designer Alexander McQueen was a genius He had an eye for fashion but was also a troubled soul. The new documentary ‘McQueen’ shows the highs, and the lows, of McQueen’s life.
Adrienne Warren is astonishing as Tina Turner in the new musical aptly titled ‘Tina.’ Now playing at the Aldwych Theatre, ‘Tina’ charts the ups, and many downs, of Tina’s life. Born as Ann-Mae Bullock, in 1939, we are shown, first hand, how, as a little girl, she was brought up in a violent household where her father hit her mother, causing her mother to move away with her sister (leaving Ann-Mae behind).
Is Sawyer Valentini a bit crazy and imagining things or is it all in her head?
Claire Foy (The Crown) plays Valentini, a young successful career woman who had an issue with a stalker years ago. But it’s all behind her now. She’s focused on her career (though her creepy boss offers to take her out of town on a business trip), and just basically getting on with her life.
She goes to see a mental health counselor for a checkup but soon enough, strangely, she is committed against her will in a mental hospital, locked up with people who are all certifiably crazy, so surely why is she locked up with them when of course she is not crazy. She gets a hold of her mother who tries to get her out, but to no avail. Could this be a scam the hospital is involved in just to get her insurance money? But then Valentini recognizes one of the staff who was, or perhaps wasn’t, her stalker. ‘Unsane’ takes us through Valentini’s nightmare experience in the mental hospital and her quest to escape the unjustice, and possibly the stalker, that she is currently facing.
Director Steven Soderbergh in 2013 announced that he was retiring from filmmaking, but ‘Unsane’ marks his second go since then as director (last year’s successful ‘Logan Lucky’ was his ‘return’). ‘Unsane,’ which was shot on an iphone (just like the huge hit ’Tangerine’) is a strange choice for Soderbergh, as he made many successful and award-winning films early on in his career. While ‘Unsane’ won’t be winning any awards, and as the second half spirals a bit out of control relegating it to ‘B’ movie status, it’s still a scary pyschological thriller that will leave you on the edge of your sit with a nail-biting performance by Foy.
Has Woody Allen lost his touch?
Wonder Wheel, his 50th ish film, just released in cinemas, is, to put it bluntly, not very good. While there are some elements to the film that are good, overall Wonder Wheel is a sign that perhaps Allen should just hang up his directors hat and call it a career.
In Wonder Wheel (a reference to the giant Ferris Wheel in Coney Island), Kate Winslet plays Ginny, a still beautiful yet a bit over-the-hill former aspiring actress and now living in an apartment smack dab overlooking Brooklyn’s famous Coney Island. She’s married to the schlub Humpty (geez, what a name – played admirably by Jim Belushi), who runs the merry-go-round, and they have a young son who happens to enjoy lighting fires.
Ginny, happens, one day, to notice lifeguard Mickey (an overreaching Justin Timberlake). She takes a fancy to him, and he takes a fancy to her, and before you know it they are having an affair. But Ginny is very insecure, and the minute Mickey even looks at another woman, Ginny can’t handle it. Worse yet, Humpty’s beautiful, and young, daughter Carolina (Juno Temple) comes to stay with them (she also has the mafia on her tale – but it’s a subplot to distract from there ever being a good plot), and, yes you guessed it, somehow Mickey and Carolina meet and Ginny’s fantasies of escaping her humdrum life are over.
Winslet is pulling out all stops as an actress and ends up being a bit too much. Her Ginny is both extremely insecure and perhaps a bit crazy, and Winslet can’t quite stop overacting. And while Belushi and Temple are both fine in their roles, it’s the overall arc of the story and the not very believable locating setting that will make you not believe what you’ve seen. Allen, who wrote and directed this film, desperately needs to rethink his next movie. He’s already shot A Rainy Day in New York and it stars hot young Oscar nominated Timothée Chalamet. Don’t hold your breathe.
There is a gay-themed film that has just been released that is getting rave and five star reviews. And while it is very good, it’s also not your typical gay relationship film.
‘Call Me By Your Name’ tells the story about an adult who has an affair with a younger man. The adult in question is the actor Armie Hammer (who in real life happens to be 31, but looks older, and in this film he is playing a 24-year old) who is playing is Oliver. The young man in question is Elio, played by Timothée Chalamet (who happens to 21 in real life but plays a 17-year old in the film but looks a lot younger). The story, based on the 2007 book of the same name by André Aciman, is about a sexual relationship between Oliver and Elio. Oliver, you see, has been hired by Elio’s parents, wealthy couple the Perlmans (Michael Stuhlbarg and Amira Casar), to help Mr. Perlman with his archeological work. But what happens is that the closeted Elio (who is wooed by the local girls who vie for his attention) becomes enamoured with, and by, Oliver. Oliver, who is a man’s man, with a chest full of hair, is a very confident man who can practically have anyone he wants. He, however, enters into a relationship with Elio. It’s really hard to believe that a man of the world like Oliver could be sexually attracted to Elio. And while Elio is a good-looking young man, he’s still quite young for someone whom Oliver could fancy. So it’s a bit inappropriate for a man like Oliver to be sexually attracted, and to sexually satisfy Elio, in various locations, including having interludes in the Perlman family home where they conveniently have adjoining rooms which allow for lots of loving glances across their rooms. Elio’s parents do realise what’s happening and turn a blind eye to the relationship and let nature take it’s course.
‘Call Me By Your Name’ is a beautiful and lush film, directed with care by Italian director Luca Guadagnino. It lovingly highlights the Italian countryside and the small cityscapes of Lombardy; the film has beautiful camerawork and the acting by all involved is top notch. Chalamet is a real find – his Elio commands the screen. Chalamet looks very very comfortable in front of the camera, clothes on or off (there is absolutely no full frontal nudity in this film, though some of the sex scenes look all too real). Hammer is also very good in this role – a role that is not a typical role for him to play. And there is scene, which you must have heard about by now, that involves a peach. Yes, a peach, which Elio uses, and which involves Oliver, that was a bit too much for me. But it’s the scene where the credits roll up at the end of the film where you can’t leave your seat or avert your eyes – it’s these few minutes where Chamalet as Elio will mesmerize, and seduce you. So it’s at this point that you think that perhaps you can’t blame Oliver for falling for him because it’s at this point you will do the same as well.
“Mary Poppins Returns” stars: Emily Blunt as the practically-perfect nanny with unique magical skills who can turn any task into an unforgettable, fantastic adventure; Lin-Manuel Miranda as her friend Jack, an optimistic street lamplighter who helps bring light—and life—to the streets of London; Ben Whishaw as Michael Banks; Emily Mortimer as Jane Banks; and Julie Walters as the Banks’ housekeeper Ellen; with Colin Firth as Fidelity Fiduciary Bank’s William Weatherall Wilkins; and Meryl Streep as Mary’s eccentric cousin, Topsy. The film also introduces three new Banks’ children played by Pixie Davies, Nathanael Saleh and newcomer Joel Dawson. Angela Lansbury appears as the Balloon Lady, a treasured character from the PL Travers books and Dick Van Dyke is Mr. Dawes Jr., the retired chairman of the bank now run by Firth’s character.
The film is directed by Rob Marshall from a screenplay by David Magee and screen story by Magee & Marshall & John DeLuca based upon The Mary Poppins Stories by PL Travers. The producers are Marshall, DeLuca and Marc Platt with Callum McDougall serving as executive producer and the music is by Marc Shaiman with songs by Shaiman and Scott Wittman.
MARY POPPINS RETURNS IS IN UK CINEMAS DECEMBER 2018
Daniela Vega gives an award-worthy performance in the Chilean film ‘A Fantastic Woman’.
Who give three cents about Frances McDormand’s performance in the much awful ‘Three Billboards Outside Epping Missouri,’ it’s Vega’s performance as a woman who, after the death of her lover, is rejected and scorned by his family that is superb. You see, Vega is transgendered, and her character Marina Vidal, who happens to be an aspiring singer, is also, of course, transgendered. Her and her lover Orlando (Francisco Reyes) had a normal relationship, but his ex-wife and son never truly accepted her nor her relationship with Francesco. But after a birthday celebration where they shared a romantic dinner, a sexy dance in a club, and a night of passion at home, Francisco starts having problems breathing, and after a tense drive to the hospital, Francesco dies, and in panic and a state of confusion, Marina walks away from the hospital. But after a police car picks her up and takes her back to the hospital, she realises that she’s being treated as a suspect in Francesco’s death and not as a grieving partner. To make matter much much worse, Francesco’s grown up son wants her out of Francesco’s apartment, and his ex-wife wants his car and explicitly tells Marina, to her face, that their relationship was perverted and not normal. It’s too much for anyone to take, but Marina is strong, and she will do anything to attend Francesco’s funeral, even when Francesco’s family tries to keep her way. Marina loved Francesco and wants to say a final goodbye.
There’s no doubt about Vega’s performance. We feel her pain, and her anger, and her confusion over the series of events that have happened in her life in a short period of time. Vega is a revelation, and she should’ve been nominated for a Best Actress Oscar, nevertheless she’s been nominated for a slew of other awards, and has won Best Actress at the Palm Spring International Film Festival, while the film, written and directed by Sebastiån Lelio, won the prestigious Teddy Award at the Berlin International Film Festival. ‘A Fantastic Woman’ is really fantastic, one of the best films of the year, and Vega’s performance will most definitely move you.
‘A Fantastic Woman’ is now in cinemas.
‘The Shape of Water’ is not your typical romance movie. In this new film, which just recently opened, a woman falls in love with a sea creature. Yes, a sea creature.
Sally Hawkins plays Elisa, a mute cleaner, and along with Zelda (Octavia Spencer), are tasked with cleaning up, circa Baltimore 1962, a government building that is used for experiments. One day a creature, which has the shape of a man’s body but looks like a hybrid of a giant lizard crossed with a salamander, is brought to the bunker-like fortress where he is experimented on and tortured, all at the hands of the evil Richard Strickland (Michael Shannon), who is in charge of the whole operation.
Of course, both Elisa and Zelda encounter the creature, but it’s Elisa who takes a liking to him. As she lives in a world where she can’t talk, and her only real friends are Zelda and her next door neighbor Giles (Richard Jenkins), she finds a kindred spirit in the creature who of course can’t talk as well. Elisa, initially frightened, grows more curious about the creature, and soon enough is sneaking in food for him to eat (eggs). But Elisa’s secret, and dangerous, visits to the creature turn more into just visits. Elisa soon starts falling in love with the creature in a sort of way to help her escape her mundane life. And she feels sorry for the creature, who is shackled up all day and night, held in a tank against his will. So Elisa risk everything to help him escape, and will an actual relationship develop between these two?
One has to suspend disbelief to buy into the storyline of this film, but it’s the acting and the lush cinematography that will lure you in. Hawkins is great, and the period detail couldn’t be any better. The creature looks very real better than any other seen in any recent film. Winner of several film awards, and nominated for a whopping 13 Academy Awards, including Best Actress and Best Director for Guillermo del Toro, who won Best Director at the BAFTA’s. ‘The Shape of Water’ is so unlike anything you’ll see in quite some time.
