In the world of the ‘Mockumentary’, What We Do In The Shadows stands out as one of the finest examples of the genre. Not only does it have characters that are unassumingly charismatic, who you genuinely find yourself caring for, but the fact that it is able to develop, that the progressive nature of the writing, the situation and the narrative is fluid enough to keep the viewer on their toes, marks it out as one of the great comedies of the day.

Fading Gigolo, Film Review. Picturehouse@F.A.C.T., Liverpool.

Liverpool Sound and Vision Review 7/10

Cast: John Turturro, Woody Allen, Sharon Stone, Sofia Vergara, Vanessa Paradis, Lieb Schreiber, Max Casella, Aida Turturro, Michael Badalucco, Aurélie Claudel, Loan Chabanol.

Fading Gigolo he maybe in a film but there is nothing faded, jaded or withered about John Turturro as a writer or as a film maker.

When Fioravante, John Turturro, helps purveyor of old and rare books Murray, Woody Allen, help finally close his shop due to the economic times we live in, it sets of a chain of events that sees the two impoverished men turn the tide slightly back in their favour by the under-discussed subject of prostitution for rich female clients.
