Review of "The Free State of Jones"

Both a wonderful drama and a fascinating insight into a little known aspect of the American civil war. Tells a true story with conviction and sympathy.

Review of "The Gods Must Be Crazy"

From the mock cheesy travelogue voice over at the beginning to it all turning out alright in the end this is a gem of a comedy. It also manages to be a satirical commentary on many aspects of our western world and a glimpse of bushman life and Southern Africa scenery (but you might want to fact check the gem about rhinos and fire before repeating it as gospel!) Although made in 1980, Botswana and S.Africa then was probably equivalent to the UK in the mid 60s in terms of social attitudes - so don't be put off by what today looks very unsophisticated and unPC comedy - accept it for what it is and laugh out loud with it.
