In this blog, I’ll review In the Middle and report about a chat with film director Greg Cruttwell.
A ‘footie film’ may not fill you with enthusiasm, you’re thinking ‘under-dogs pull their fingers out and bag the cup’ type scenario. But this is different, it’s … charming? It’s a documentary, clearly made with love; love for the people interviewed and for the game.
A love I do not feel, I’ll be frank. I spent countless Sundays traipsing out to far-flung and well-hidden Surrey League playing fields in all weathers for my son’s footie team. And watching his games brought out the worst in most people. Ok they brought out the worst in me. But how CAN you stand there dispassionately and let life play out. You scream at the fouls, groan at the missed opps, and, yell at the ref, yes.

The Academy Awards aka the Oscars are the most prestigious award ceremony for the film industry. Each year, the ceremony recognises the best films, actors, and filmmakers of the year.
In 2022, a highly anticipated film about the life of Elvis Presley hit theatres worldwide. Titled simply “Elvis“, the movie was a stunning tribute to the King of Rock ‘n’ Roll, exploring his life and legacy with incredible performances, stunning music, and top-notch cinematography.
