Re: The Sapphires
good trip, some retro live music and a bit of history you dont often see on the screen, an unusual twist location on the usual romcom. Parminder's miming to songs was a bit off at times lol.
Australian women's voices alone sound funny (not far behind Indian accents lol) so there was plenty of laughs.
7/10

Re: The Sapphires
Saw this today at covent garden. Thanks for keeping me company funthing. Great to see jean, canadian_turtle and prettyxcool.
Really enjoyed it as pretty gentle film for a Sunday morning.
It was funny, heartwarming and sad. Really enjoyed it and wouldn't mind seeing it again
7.5/10

Re: The Sapphires
Road closures and bus diversions around Greenwich preventing us going this morning; i wonder why they don't advertise them on bus stop indicator boards. Shame it sounds like a good movie.Celini wrote:9.54 for a 10am start... Odeon Holloway is closed. This should be interesting!

Re: The Sapphires
Holloway finally opened its doors at 10am; the staff inside did not show any interest in the people who had started queuing at 9.30am. The film started at 10.30am sharp to a less than 30% full theatre 
(that said, for once we were directed to a decent size (but stinky) screen, screen 6)
I liked this very very much (I am some kind of sucker for 60s-70s soundtracks; I think I was born in the wrong decade). This was sweet, fun, sad and very entertaining. Chris O'Dowd is my new hero, I don't think I have ever seen him doing a bad job!

Re: The Sapphires
A delightful film!! Worth getting up for and braving the freeeeeezzzzing weather!! It was nice to see photos at the end of the women the film was based on. I like it when they do that.
