Review of "Gone Girl"

Only very briefly do we consider that Nick might have done it, and it seems unlikely that a third party was involved so that only leaves one option - but getting to the motive and how it was done is kind of interesting - and how it will be resolved remains unknown, even in the end really.

Boring squabbles of the Leisured Class between the wars

Really not very good overall. Some nice elements - good to look at, interesting to learn about the man only known for his books, not previously seen gritty archive footage from WW1 trenches - but ultimately who wants to watch a film about privileged gay lovers in the 1920's and 30's falling out with each other - if you do, you might enjoy this.

Good Psycho Sci-Fi

The narrative develops well as Tatyana, and we, uncover the truth of what is going on and has to deal with it. Special effects of the Alien (reference intended) very good. As often with aliens HP Lovecraft has a lot to answer for - tentacles and slime! The three lead characters all very solid.

Also interesting to see a Russian film looking back to the late Soviet period - bare corridors and lightbulbs, paranoia and little rebellions against pervading authority - so different to Russia today, and more like England today.
