Jamie also gets a great write up in a review in The Times today, but that content is subscription only so there's little point in me giving a link.Had the film simply been The Annette Bening Show, we’d certainly have coped. But she’s matched every step of the way by Bell, in a flat-out career-best performance achieved so naturally it’s a marvel. He’s not just sweet, doting, and sprightly, with that boyish charm turned up to 11, but profoundly vulnerable, in a year when male vulnerability at the cinema (consider God’s Own Country, Dunkirk, The Big Sick, to name but a few) has been so often a merciful respite from the real-world horrors men have inflicted.
Bell’s close-ups, his slightly wobbling chin and ability to go from jaunty to crestfallen in a beat, are the film’s secret weapons, triggers for more emotional release than you ever thought possible from just this ordinary Liverpudlian boy-toy.
Wow, sounds great! I'm embarrassed to admit, my undying support for Jamie has dimmed a bit over the years. I love him every bit as I did then, but have fallen way behind now with his films. I promise (at least to myself) to catch up soon, and will make every effort to see this new movie as soon as possible!cheltonian wrote:Rave review for Jamie in "Film Stars Dont Die In Liverpool" here.
