“Allelujah” - Film Review, 2023 - My Thoughts 💭
Dir. Richard Eyre “Allelujah” is based on the play by Alan Bennett and adapted by Heidi Thomas for the screen, yet what a depressing movie this adaptation makes. People thinking this will be a light-hearted British film will be mistaken! I am unsure who the target audience is (nurses or people who work in aged care?) as this deceptively dark British film has a bitter edge that makes the entire project unsettling and rather bleak. This is no inspiring feel-good “Brassed Off” style tale, but rather a straight drama with a few humorous lines. It’s marketed as a comedy in the trailers, but noted as a drama on IMDB. I remember turning around at the end of the movie and seeing an emotional older woman sitting with what might have been her carer - the last ones to leave. Sadly, I don’t think they got the film that was initially sold to them.

Crazy Ex-Girlfriend
So we’ve done season 1 and talked about the major decisions that moved the plot along in the first season. And these videos are going to get a little longer as the show goes on because the subject matter also gets heavier. And some of the decisions that are made hit really close to home for me because I am also someone who has struggled with my mental health for quite a while now. And I think I’m going to do BoJack Horseman in congruence with Crazy Ex-Girlfriend because I do see a lot of parallels that I want to talk about. So with that, season 2 of Crazy Ex-Girlfriend.
