Chicken Run: Dawn of the Nugget (2023)
Loved it, nostalgic
It was a fresh storyline with ample reference to the first, which is super nostalgic.
I really enjoyed it! I love that it kept the original style and wasn't super modernised or impacted by modern day graphics.
It definitely met my expectations and it was a fun, light movie that's great for kids and adults! Love that the original characters were in it with a few be ones.
I did notice some of the voice actors had changed. Would have potentially liked them to be a little closer to the original, but a minor detail. Love the colour and vibrance of the set designs too!
Would recommend this one, enjoy!
Smyrni mou agapimeni (2021)
Incredibly moving
I loved everything about it, the set design, the costumes, the story, the music.
My great grandparents were Smyrna born and exiled to Greece. I was crying throughout the film considering my personal connection to the story.
However, it's a brilliant film in its own right. A very moving and emotional tale. Yes it is told from a Greek perspective but I think it quite clearly shows the way the Greeks and Turks of Smyrna lived in peace. Only critique I will give it is that some of the acting at times wasn't great.
I was actually blown away to learn what a cosmopolitan city it was. Devastating to know it was destroyed.
Please see this film regardless of where you're from. Critique it where possible but it should be known, considering the thousands who were slaughtered.
