Film review: ‘LITTLE WOMEN’, by Nick Gardener from ‘Built For Speed’

Little Women, directed by Greta Gerwig, is the seventh cinema adaptation of Louisa May Alcott’s bestselling semi-autobiographical 1868 novel; the first film version having appeared in 1917. Gerwig’s adaptation, like Gillian Armstrong’s 1994 version, intelligently combines historical fiction, romance, comedy, tragedy and feminism for a very pleasing, if at times slow-moving film. Little Women tells the story of the March

Film review: ‘JOJO RABBIT’ by Nick Gardener from ‘Built For Speed’

Some, like myself, may not have entirely warmed to his droll, piss-taking style of humour although the fact that it infiltrated the vast

Film review ‘SORRY WE MISSED YOU’ by Nick Gardener from ‘Built For Speed’

Sorry We Missed You is another gruelling and vitally important piece of social realism from veteran British director Ken Loach. There was a lot of talk about Joker capturing the destructive desperation of life at the lower end of the socio-economic scale but that film looks fanciful compared to this raw, sincere and heart-wrenching drama. Sorry We Missed You explores
