For the Love of Film...

Welcome to my review website. I love movies, and here’s the place I talk about them. You’ll find my ratings, on a scale of zero to five stars, in all of my posts. For each film, I’ve written either a full critique, which is a longer piece; a compact review, which is usually just a paragraph; or a quick take, which is only a sentence or two. I also post articles about the world of cinema on my film blog.

In the Comments section on each page, feel free to share your own thoughts and feelings about the films discussed here.

Lights! Camera! Action!

Saving Grace (2000)

Compact Movie Reviews

This light but engaging film stars the wonderful Brenda Blethyn as a small-town woman in England who, after losing her husband, finds herself unexpectedly without money. With few options, she enlists her gardener in a creative scheme to save her house. The supporting cast delights, among them, Craig Ferguson, who not only portrays the gardner, but also co-wrote the script. Amusing and well-directed.
