Richard III (1995)

My rating: 6/10

Quite possibly the best adaptation of the source material they could've managed: the cast is great, and McKellen in particular is excellent, portraying Richard as a wretched, pathetic, evil little man, with just enough playful nibbling at the scenery to keep things entertaining, and the 1930s setting serves well in making the visual language read to a modern audience: Richard himself as the quintessential evil dictator, while the various female characters, whose role seems to be mainly to mourn his many victims, would look right at home in any given film noir - but none of this can really help the fact of what the original source material is: a propaganda piece in a cause that has long since lost all meaning (if it ever had any) and therefore rather lacking in subtlety and, perhaps, relevance.

A Royal Winter (2017)

Impression: as tired as this storyline gets, girl finds out boy is a prince... yawn... this movie truly does tug at your heartstrings. The on screen chemistry between Maggie and Prince Adrian will keep you watching.

Collection: yes. Might actually stay awhile too

Overall: ⭐️⭐️⭐️1/2

Concept: ⭐️⭐️

Story: ⭐️⭐️⭐️

Storytelling: ⭐️⭐️⭐️1/2

Characters: ⭐️⭐️⭐️1/2

Visually: ⭐️⭐️⭐️

Score/Soundtrack: ⭐️⭐️⭐️

Entertainment: ⭐️⭐️⭐️1/2

Best: Maggie (Merritt Patterson) and Prince Adrian (Jack Donnelly.)
