All that you is not just down to how you act in this world, it is also how others see you, what they witness, what they perceive, their judgements and their biased convictions; but what if it went deeper than that, what if the shroud of what we are, when pulled back, revealed more than just one face, but several, each with their own history, each with a perception of life that is reflected in the decisions and paths taken, and those we believe we would never take.

A Quiet Place Part II. Film Review.

Liverpool Sound and Vision Rating 8.5/10

Cast: Emily Blunt, Millicent Simmonds, Noah Jupe, Cillian Murphy, John Krasinski, Djimon Hounsou, Okieriete Onaodowan, Scoot McNairy.

Step lightly upon this Earth, for in the shadows lay those waiting for our footsteps to falter and for us to cry out in pain, and they will tear us apart.

If A Quiet Place was one of the surprise, and deserving hits of the last decade, then its sequel was almost a sure gone conclusion; it just demanded the continued involvement of John Krasinski, and in A Quiet Place Part II, the same racked up tension, of delivery without dialogue in some of its more observed and focused scenes, is key and astutely pursued.

Free Guy. Film Review.

Liverpool Sound and Vision Rating 7.5/10

Cast: Ryan Reynolds, Jodie Comer, Lil Rel Howery, Joe Keery, Utkarsh Ambudkar, Taika Waititi, Aaron W Reed, Britne Oldford, Camille Kostek, Mark Lainer, Mike Devine, Sophie Levy, Vernon Scott, Naheem Garcia, Anabel Plamenco, Kenneth Israel, Michael Malvesti, Colin Allen, Michael Tow, High Jackman, Dwayne Johnson, Tina Fey, John Krasinski, Alex Trebek.

The inevitable love child of The Truman Show and Tron, with more than a little help in being raised by the house of mouse; and yet despite having the backing, the insight and imagination, as well as the decades in the advancement in studio techniques to pull of such a daring story, Free Guy does not have the same appeal to all as its more illustrious parents had when they first hit the cinema screens.

A Quiet Place. Film Review.

Liverpool Sound and Vision Rating * * * * *

Cast: Emily Blunt, John Krasinski, Noah Jupe, Millicent Simmonds, Leon Russom, Cade Woodward, Doris McCarthy.

We make too much noise, the world is permanently awake through the need to be heard, to have our ideas, our wishes and dreams explored and sung from the highest possible place and to have it echo through other’s ears. We are getting louder, as a species we are dominant in the sound that we create and soon even that quiet place of contemplation we seek, is not going to be a haven of tranquillity, it is going to be a prison in which we realise we have squandered a great gift.
