Review
Written by CinemaSerf on 24 October 2022
Told by way of a retrospective, this is a stylish and informative – if not always very entertaining – biopic on the legendary film star. He is discussing his autobiography and as he meanders down memory lane, we accompany him from his life in Edwardian London through his journey to the USA where he found fame with Keystone Studios and developed the legendary “Tramp” persona that resonated so well with an increasingly poverty-stricken populace. Robert Downey Jnr is effective in the title role, conveying much of the quirkiness – and selfishness – of this character. Geraldine Chaplin (his real life daughter) delivers a poignantly strong, if sparing, contribution and the attention to detail with costumes and sets is special. Thing is, although it must have been hard for Richard Attenborough to condense eighty-eight years of this man’s hugely interesting life into one film, those moments he has selected tend a little towards the more salacious; those less demonstrative of his creative genius. The scenes at the start when an opportunity was there to illustrate to us how his workhouse upbringing instilled the ethic that was to drive him all his life – we skip through them all too superficially (though maybe that’s because there was no role for Downey?). The political emphasis on the McCarthy witch-hunts is interesting, and the general FBI conspiracy elements are developed well, but for me this is much less about the man than it is about the myth and that’s a shame. The supporting cast deliver well enough – John Thaw as his discoverer “Karno” and Dan Aykroyd strong amongst them, and to be fair it does rather fly by for almost 2½ hours. I can’t help but admire the director’s intention to encapsulate such a lot into such a little amount of screen time, but perhaps it was just never really possible in the first place – if justice were ever to be done to this flawed, enigmatic, charming, ruthless and funny man.

Review
Written by Peter McGinn on 2 January 2023
I tend to like movies with less action and more introspection and more “talkative.” Still, since I had read the book on this and saw other reports, I wondered if this might all seem like old news when I watched it. But I found out to be enthralling. I engaged with the lead characters and appreciated the excellent work of the secondary characters. For example, a quiet but strong portrayal of the partner of one of the reporters who seemed to be a reporter in his own right but who was supportive of her efforts.
I felt they didn’t go for the melodramatic approach here as they well might have. They merely hinted about moments like one of them wondering if a car occupant was watching her, and used just one threatening phone call when they probably actually had many of them. It kept the story cleaner and moving forward.
She Said reminded me of All the Presidents Men, with the two investigative reporters being held to a standard of having sufficient sources to back up their reporting but where Woodward and Bernstein seemed mostly concerned with holding people accountable for their illegal actions, the journalists in she Said connected and formed a personal bond with the victims they located and encouraged to speak out.

Review
Reviewers say ‘Wicked’ is a visually stunning musical with strong performances from Cynthia Erivo and Ariana Grande. Vibrant sets, costumes, and choreography are praised. However, pacing issues and a slow narrative are noted. Splitting the story into two parts is criticized as unnecessary. Emotional moments and character development are seen as lacking, making some scenes feel rushed. Despite this, themes of friendship, prejudice, and self-discovery are appreciated.
