Amusing. Chiwetel Ejiofor’s performance as Lola, by itself, is worth the price of admission. He is absolutely fabulous in a part that ranges from outrageous humour to heart rending pathos. It’s a little slow at the start and I didn’t … Continue reading →

Quirky. A rather amusing and entertaining film that was much under rated when it was first released, which for the life of me I can’t understand. Visually pleasing with interesting characters and lots of great humour all the way through. … Continue reading →
