film review for Jessica Rudkin is here this morning, Kyoda.
Speaker 5 (01:10):
Good morning.
Speaker 3 (01:10):
Okay, We've got two films this morning. One is streaming
on Prime Video at home. One is in cinemas. So
let's start off with the one in cinemas. This is good, Rich.
Speaker 6 (01:22):
Naimi, where are you?
Speaker 1 (01:25):
I am staying?
Speaker 5 (01:28):
What I gotta go ninety days?
Speaker 1 (01:31):
You'll Doree.
Speaker 7 (01:33):
Mom had to go back home for a little while
to see your grandma.
Speaker 6 (01:36):
You know she's getting order, so.
Speaker 7 (01:42):
A good deal ordered, I am.
Speaker 4 (01:43):
But anyway, there's good Rich tell us about it. Francisca.
Speaker 5 (01:48):
Look, I'm going to be honest.
Speaker 7 (01:49):
I love the beginning of this film, and the beginning
of this film is what you just heard on the
trainer there with.
Speaker 5 (01:53):
This with this character played by Michael Keaton called.
Speaker 7 (01:56):
Ay Goodrich, who is a workaholic art dealer, gets a
call from his wife to tell him I've gone to
rehab and he's like, what do you mean you don't
drink that much? And she's like, no, addicted to pills
and he's like, what, No, you're not. And then he
kind of wakes up in the next one and going.
He drives up to see her, she won't see him.
He comes home, he's got these two nine year old twins.
(02:17):
He sat sort of mentioning to other people, I don't
know what's happened.
Speaker 5 (02:20):
Nomi's gone to rehab, and they're like, oh.
Speaker 7 (02:22):
Yeah, everybody else knows everyone else.
Speaker 5 (02:25):
It was not a surprising one him.
Speaker 7 (02:27):
And it's such a great setup because it tells you
so much about this character that we're about to go
on this journey with. It tells you that he is
a workaholic, He is not present in anyone's lives.
Speaker 5 (02:35):
He has no idea what is even happening in his
own home.
Speaker 7 (02:37):
Or with his wife, and it's just it's a It
was a really clever way of setting this film up.
I think they do quite a decent job with this
film of what I thought was going to be.
Speaker 5 (02:45):
Quite a formulaic family drama. But it surprised me by
only giving me half.
Speaker 7 (02:51):
The fairy tale Hollywood ending that I thought that I
was going to get, and not everything works out, you know, perfectly,
And actually that's really satisfying in this film, because of
course life is messy, isn't it.
Speaker 5 (03:06):
Nothing sort of works out perfectly. Michael Keaton is absolutely
fabulous in this film.
Speaker 7 (03:11):
He's sort of at this age where he can pull
off being he's on his second or third marriage second,
I think, and you know, he's got an older daughter,
Grace played by Melaicuna, so who he kind of.
Speaker 5 (03:21):
Pulls in to help him out.
Speaker 7 (03:23):
She's gone a lot of issues about the fact that
he was completely absent dad. He's got these two young
twins who are just absolutely fantastic and wonderfree, wonderfull, is
sort of precocious, and he doesn't really have anything to
do with them. So suddenly he's part of their day
to day lives, and he says something to them. He
says to the daughter something about something she says and
how Ala it is, and she just looks at him
(03:43):
and says something along the lines of, you know what,
if you don't want me to talk like I'm from LA,
don't raise me in LA.
Speaker 5 (03:50):
Like it.
Speaker 7 (03:50):
There's really nice lines and things in here, But really
this is a film about whether a middle aged man
can kind of change his way, whether he can overcome
his self involvement, whether he can give people sort of time.
Speaker 5 (04:04):
And nurture relationships. And yeah, I was. I was pleasantly surprised.
I thought it was going to be very predictable.
Speaker 7 (04:10):
It is kind of predictable, Jack, But actually I kind
of got drawn into it and enjoyed it.
Speaker 6 (04:15):
Really.
Speaker 3 (04:16):
Okay, cool, that sounds great, So that is good Rich.
That one is showing in cinemas at the moment. Next up,
this one is streaming on Prime Videos starting on Tuesday
of this week.
Speaker 4 (04:26):
This is Absolution.
Speaker 7 (04:29):
I've been having these headaches.
Speaker 6 (04:30):
Have you sustained concussions over the course of your life?
Speaker 7 (04:34):
You could say that just tell me what I need
to get better.
Speaker 6 (04:40):
There is no treatment this is your grandfather, Mark is
your in prison for not walking away?
Speaker 2 (04:52):
That is Liam mason.
Speaker 6 (04:56):
Last action.
Speaker 7 (05:00):
Yeah, because he's seventy to now, and he's kind of
decided that, you know, really to be able to pull
it off and for it to local think he's probably
an age and stage now where he's going.
Speaker 3 (05:08):
But I feel like, isn't it a strick that he
always like He's always like, uh, you know.
Speaker 4 (05:13):
I've had a few bumps and scrapes over the.
Speaker 3 (05:14):
Years, and I can't run as fast as I used
to it, but I can still shoot straight.
Speaker 7 (05:19):
Look at all the age just doesn't beieve he should
do anything he wanted any time, you know. And he
does have a great stunt person, but he does do
a lot of his own fight scenes and things like
that as well, and he probably, to be honest with you,
there are some good boxing scenes in this film, and
I was a little bit.
Speaker 5 (05:33):
Worried about him, but then I'm worried about anyone in
the boxing room. Look, both the.
Speaker 7 (05:37):
Films that I'm talking about today feat your middle aged
men kind of reflecting on their lives. This one, though,
is a bit more meandering, a little bit more brooding.
If you were going to go and see Liam Nissan
in this film, where he plays a very old school gangster.
Speaker 5 (05:54):
He looks like he's from the seventies.
Speaker 7 (05:55):
The film makes she feels like it could have been
made in the seventies a little bit as well. And
then don't go for the action because this is actually
quite a slow, brooding, reflective film as opposed to that
sort of you know, sexy, quick bang bang kind of thriller.
Speaker 5 (06:13):
So just putting that out there for you.
Speaker 7 (06:17):
It's a film that kind of takes a look at
broken relationships once again.
Speaker 5 (06:23):
He's got a very dysfunctional relationship with his daughter.
Speaker 7 (06:25):
He discovers he's got ct which I didn't think could
be diagnosed until he actually died.
Speaker 5 (06:29):
Anyway, he's got a terrible dementia and he knows it
too long.
Speaker 7 (06:32):
Ye yes, yeah, yeah, gets get in the way.
Speaker 3 (06:36):
It was so believable otherwise anyway, sorry they say that.
Speaker 7 (06:40):
Anyway, moving on, So he's trying to sort of maybe
repair damage that's done and try to stop sort of
the cycles of violence that has gone through his family
and leave a legacy to his grandchildren. But the other
world is a very hard place to leave, and so
he kind of gets a little bit stuck in there.
Speaker 5 (06:57):
I think Liam Leson elevates this material.
Speaker 7 (07:00):
I think they've got the tone and the pacing not
I don't think they've got the tone in the pacing
right for this film.
Speaker 5 (07:05):
And what they were trying to achieve. But I'll always
sit and watch a little bit of Liam Nason. Also
stars Ron Pilman and Ross Fantastic.
Speaker 3 (07:13):
Okay, yeah, it does sound like a bit of fun,
and that's that's what it's all about.
Speaker 4 (07:16):
So it's not fun.
Speaker 3 (07:17):
Well you know what I mean though, it's like escapism,
you know, it's not Yeah, it's not funny.
Speaker 4 (07:23):
A bit of escape, a bit of escapism anyway. Okay,
so there's absolution by the way. Friends.
Speaker 3 (07:29):
Escape producer Libby Winning saw Wicked on Your Advice this week.
She said she enjoyed it, but she found it extremely long.
Speaker 5 (07:36):
So she knows it's only one.
Speaker 4 (07:38):
She knows it's only part one.
Speaker 3 (07:39):
So she said she did not feel like Wicked the
whole story needed to be a five hour epoch.
Speaker 4 (07:44):
So she agreed one hundred percent. Agrees with you. She
said they got point.
Speaker 3 (07:48):
There were points in the film where she was like,
I really don't think this needs to be a song.
I think it could have just been one line or
a facial expression and that.
Speaker 4 (07:55):
Would have covered us. But in Steve, we've got six minutes.
Speaker 5 (07:57):
It will drag her.
Speaker 7 (07:59):
I will drag her along to the part two pre
when it comes out, she'll be fizzing.
Speaker 3 (08:03):
Thank you, thank you so much. We will love catching
in next week. Francesca Rudkin. There those films again, good Rich.
That's the one showing in cinemas. The second one, Absolution,
is the one with Liam Neeson. So that is going
to be on Prime Video from Tuesday of this week.
