Legal thriller based on John Grisham’s first novel I believe. Took me a while to finish the movie because it had a slow start but the ending paid off well. Love the plot and the acting. Love the choice of score. Good movie, albeit a slow burn.
7/10

Sequel to East Is East. Not as good as that but still it has its moments. Love the young actor who played Sajid. Love the spiritual angle in the movie and the music.

What a film this was. The movie is about a working class inter faith family living in 70s Salford. A Pakistani man marries a British woman and has several children. The man has his own views according to his culture and religion and he tries to force them on his children.
The movie really showcases the consequences of inter race family.
Om Puri did an amazing work here and so did everyone including Linda. Loved this movie. 10 for me.

So I have seen the first two installments of this series and I know I haven’t logged it here but I liked them both, especially the first one. Basically, the movie is made up of four short little erotic films and each has a separate theme. The good thing about this installment is it has a variety of genre of themes in it. You have crime, comedy, grief, noir. It’s a mixture.
Obviously I loved the first one the most. It had more depth and layers in it.
Second one was OKish.
Third one was good too but a bit slow. Prefer the second one.
Fourth one was pretty well made. Loved the creative writer angle.
8/10.

This one was pretty good but not as good as the previous ones. Some good scenes in there. More sad and emotional.

Date read: 19/5/23 to 19/9/26 (7 years)
Length: 845 e-book pages

Review: Finally decided to just listen to it on audiobook and completed it. To be honest, I did not care about Roland’s back story at all. For me it was a drag but I got there at the end. Excited to continue this long journey.

Rewatched this masterpiece again. I would have to give this a 10. The climax of this movie is one of the greatest ever filmed. Also, I rewatched this almost two years after. Watched it first on 18/9/24. What a coincidence.
10/10.
