The Mule. Film Review.

Liverpool Sound and Vision Rating 8.5/10

Cast: Clint Eastwood, Bradley Cooper, Manny Montana, Taissa Farmiga, Andy Garcia, Alison Eastwood, Michael Pena, Jill Flint, Laurence Fishburne, Clifton Collins Jr., Dianne Wiest, Ignacio Serricchio, Noel Gugliemi, Robert LaSardo, Katie Gill, Eugene Cordero.

There will come a time when the cinematic world will be without Clint Eastwood and Dianne Wiest as a shining examples of how actors of a certain era on screen can still convey such depths of emotion with a single look down the barrel of the camera that you cannot but feel certain emotions come to the forefront of your mind as you watch them effortlessly portray life. Awe, grace, hope, they all have their dynamic hold on the cinema goer, and whilst actors such as Michael Pena, Laurence Fishburne and Bradley Cooper bring a wonderful passion to the screen, it is to a golden generation that perhaps we owe a life-long debt of enjoying cinema to.

The story you don’t know is the one that is often the most factual, cinema has a way of unfolding the tale and only offering the sanitised version of someone’s life, the mistakes, they are erasable, the darkness, the redemption found, the eventual downfall, covered in a semblance of sepia toned grace; for in cinema the Rules Don’t Apply, most of the time they are made up on the spot and changed randomly.
