Gleeson was superb in that, and in such a thankless role too. He works much the same magic in 'Hampstead' though his supporting - or co-starring - cast isn't quite as believable as he is.Raybeardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12424095016313843883noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-926347286766677626.post-88290451509511517862017-07-02T14:13:13.507-07:002017-07-02T14:13:13.507-07:00I last saw Gleeson in the wonderful Calvary

However, it's not entirely unenjoyable.<br /><br />We're getting trailers of 'Alone in Berlin' and, oh dear, yet ANOTHER World War 2 drama complete with Nazis (and in English with faux-German accents). I'll be seeing it without doubt but the number of times this subject is flogged (admittedly it's a vast subject) I've long since got a-weary of the whole topic - and with 'Dunkirk' just round the corner as well. Reviews here of 'Berlin' have been largely favourable but unexceptional. I'll just go to get it over with.

But I'm so tired of movies based on comic books and movies based on people from other planets, that I think I will see this just to escape into "lah-de-dah" Hampstead.<br /><br />I saw "Alone In Berlin" as Rachel did. Gripping and Daniel Bruhl is awesome. A very timely movie in the Age of Trump.

I thought Gleeson was good. I think Emily should have been English as the film was so very British in Hampstead but other than that Keaton was good. I wrotecabout it on my blog last week. I saw Gleeson again today in Alone in Berlin. I will write about it later.Rachel Phillipshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16053924416805878169noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-926347286766677626.post-35127207081094963252017-06-29T05:19:49.694-07:002017-06-29T05:19:49.694-07:00She never disappoints, Bob, and though she's A...She never disappoints, Bob, and though she's American (of course!), she seems to have an affinity with England, and appears many times with an English accent which she can do effortlessly. And she might have got on fine with Mr Gleeson too, who I think was well cast in this. too.Raybeardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12424095016313843883noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-926347286766677626.post-22042990745961347902017-06-29T04:53:20.696-07:002017-06-29T04:53:20.696-07:00Julianne Moore.

Maybe it had been a subconscious association. Even if it seems too much of a coincidence to be believed, at the time I was actually thinking of Alan Bennett - though you may think otherwise. :-)<br /><br />Apart from Keaton seeming like a fish out of water in a London setting I think, more seriously, that off-screen she and Gleeson don't care much for each other - and it shows on-screen, their interchange of emotional words sounding false and forced. I've been trying to think who might have handled it better, and I'm coming up with Julianne Moore.<br />But all in all, there's no way I could describe this as a 'poor' film.<br /><br /><br /><br />Raybeardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12424095016313843883noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-926347286766677626.post-51344036372337713592017-06-28T14:55:39.838-07:002017-06-28T14:55:39.838-07:00I saw her on Graham Norton touting this film, and ...I saw her on Graham Norton touting this film, and even in the clip she seemed like she shouldn't be there. which i found odd because generally I love me some Keaton.
