All Is True is Kenneth Branagh’s fictionalised biopic on the latest years of Shakespeare’s life. It’s not a blockbuster and it’s not a movie that will please everybody. But I loved every second of it. All Is True‘s photography is poetic and breathtaking. It’s possibly the best and most authentic portrayal of William Shakespeare because it digs deep into his heart. If you are a fan…

Don’t compare it with the original classic movie and don’t feel nostalgic about it. Mary Poppins Returns has to be seen as a standalone original musical comedy to be truly enjoyed. The soundtrack…

Mamma Mia! Here We Go Again is finally out on DVD and I am glad I can share my interview with Andy García Andy García who plays Fernando in the popular sequel. Andy García is a confident and charming man in his 60s who has embraced his age with grace. The mature roles he gets these days seem to resemble more and more his own real self. In the Spring he starred in the movie Book Club as an…
