Comments and Reviews


Magic Marmalade 8th Jun 2023		Just upgraded my rating of this to a flat out 10 out of 10... ...After watching (yet!) again, I have concluded this film is... Perfect. Perfect runtime, pacing, acting, story, atmosphere (which it has in spades, so as to have the feel of something like: John Caprenter does Vanishing Point. Low-fi Electronica score: perfect, signature lead song, which really lends this some heart: perfect... The two most central characters (including the excellent Carey Mulligan) who talk the least, but say the most: perfect. This, is one I feel I'm going to naturally gravitate back to on a "more than is healthy for me" basis... ...very regularly, possibly bordering on the obsessive :) (Haven't felt a movie captivate me this much, in this way since Blade Runner!) Now my favourite film of the last twenty years.



Magic Marmalade 31st May 2022		Rated 10/10 A minimalist, neon soaked, Tarantino-esque, pulpy-fiction, fluorescent lit, dingy crime drama mood piece. One of those that some people don't "get", as it's very glacial, and a lot has to be read into it... so if you want a straight up crash bang wallop action movie, this won't exactly be it... (The plot is a lot like Edgar Wright's Baby Driver, which may suit better if that's what you are after) ... As this centres around Ryan Gosling's barely there / blank, but prodigiously gifted driver, who, when not making a living part time stunt driving for Hollywood movies, acts as get away driver for various criminal enterprises, and working in a garage. Unable to relate to others, he lives alone, and just goes about his business in a steady unflappable manner suited to his cold demeanour, although always approximating human courtesy as he does so... is he just a sweet, polite guy, or is there a raging psychopath underneath? He is however, drawn into the lives of others, by striking up a friendship with his neighbour and her son, who's lives are further complicated by the imminent return from prison of her husband (Oscar Isaac), who, it turns out, is up to his eyeballs in underworld activity still, and Gosling offers to assist in getting him out of trouble, for the sake of Irene and her son, by offering his services as driver to pay off a debt... ...In addition, the owner of the garage he works at is a hood too, and along with his partner (Brooks and Perlman, respectively) want to enlist his driving talents too / embroil him in their nefarious activities. Many criticise Gosling for this "non-acting", inscrutable thing he does, but it is entirely the character here, and he is very good at it... (This may be the part that won him the part of K in Blade Runner 2049, and for these reasons) ...Most exemplified, by perhaps the most telling scene in the film, where Gosling is sat with the son on the sofa, watching a cartoon with sharks, and he asks the son: "Is that the bad guy?" ..."Yeah" (replies the son) ......"How can you tell the difference?" (Responds Gosling, with genuine blank perplexity in his expression) 5 people found this review helpful. ✔︎ Helpful Review?
