The Witch - 7/10
Strange one this as its a film that I enjoyed, without actually enjoying it. If that makes any sense. Terrific acting by all the child actors. I did kind of feel that parts of the movie were "missing" though, would have liked things to be fleshed out a little more as I was left with a lot of questions, but perhaps that was the point.
On a sidenote..I went to see this in Portsmouths Gunwharf cinema.
NEVER...NEVER again.
What an absolute **** of a place Portsmouth is at times. Or at least the people in it. Right from the first minute of the film there were people just talking and laughing with each other , literally all the way through the film. People texting on their mobiles, 2 young guys (in their 20s) just giggling..yes, literally giggling, non stop. Like uncontrollable giggling, not saying anything , just nonstop giggling. Whether they were on some sort of drug I dont know, but I've never known people to just uncontrollably giggle nonstop. After about 20mins they got up and left, as did another 3 young guys after about half an hour, but not without first shouting out some gibberish in the cinema. The film is pretty atmospheric but the atmosphere was certainly tested by the giggling, non-stop chatter and texting throughout. I just cannot understand why people pay (and lets face it, a night at the cinema isnt exactly cheap) to see a film they have little interest in and then just chatter all the way through it.
(the guys with the uncontrollable giggling I just put down to being on drugs or something which just makes you giggle to yourself nonstop)
Good film, awful, AWFUL cinema experience. I for one will never set foot in Portsmouth again for a night out at the flicks.
... 8.5/10
