Meet the vulture

A news-reporting cameraman is willing to do anything to get fine footage. The movie is intense and dark, but not off-putting. It manages to communicate the disturbing, and make it real, without actually disturbing the viewer. Amazing editing is in action - and an unexpected dose of black comedy helps.

Victoria et Abdul

What is wrong with this movie?

I think "uselessness" is quite an effective description. First of all, it's a rather insipid story: a young Indian man arrives in London as a servant to Queen Victoria, and she takes a liking to him, making him the most important member of her entourage, sparking much discontent. The introduction is enough to give us a clear idea of the story; the following denouement is simply long-winded repetition. Every event, even the most insignificant (they are all insignificant, really), is described at least twice, in short, much ado about nothing. The style is also flat and often rhetorical; If we add to this the lack of objectivity (clearly always pointing in favor of Abdul Karim), it becomes clear that I could not appreciate it very much.

Entering the Potter universe

There was a time when everyone who loved Harry Potter couldn't get enough of Harry Potter movies. So we read the Quidditch book that is its companion & watched FBAWTFT. Unfortunately, I felt that it wasn't clever enough in its own right to hold interest as a fine film - if most of Harry and Ron's movies were as dry as this one, it's no wonder they were always copying off Hermione. Only the most devoted Potter fan could name most of the animals in here - perhaps some obvious cross-reference value might've made the film come to life.
