Went to the cinema again today, lol.
First up was Rachel getting married.
I loved the angle chosen for this film, it felt so real, so dysfunctional and highly emotional. There are some excellent scenes although the rehearsal dinner was uber cringe. Everyone in the film was excellent and the emotion of the characters almost leapt off the screen. The wedding itself is actually random but it's fun and enjoyable to watch.
Rating: 4/5
Next was The Wrestler
I was never sure if I was going to enjoy it, overall it was ok, well directed and Mickey Rourke was great in the lead role. Evan Rachel Wood was great as his daughter although I wanted to learn more about her character and yet we never do. I laughed for some time with the toilet shag scene, it was just so random, especially when he wakes up the next morning. The humour was nice as it helped the film move along. Nothing amazing but Rourke does deserve at least the Oscar nom for the role.
Rating: 3/5
