1 2 3 Fucking Brilliant!! Manic Wah I’d seen him live in concert.
Clever film. Diamond geezer. Fanspastic. Migraine inducing!
Great! So full of energy! Brilliant film and fantastic acting. Thank you! What a shambles.
Fuckin’ brilliant. Very moving but astonishing. Who fucking picked that?
Just as good the second time of seeing this - great!!
Enjoyed it much more than I thought I would. Fantastic acting.

Superb acting both of Dury and Baxter! Brilliant portrayal.
Excellent performances and clever filming. Serkis was amazing.
Andy Serkis was brilliant – a very absorbing film. What superb acting - f***ing brilliant.
Inspired by Joel Gray in Cabaret? I thought Andy Serkis was mesmerizing.
Faultless and very gripping. Andy Serkis was brilliant.
Very well acted but why bother? “Fuck off! You’re fired! Now go away and be magnificent.”


The comic book style was a touch of genius. Who would have thought a rebel would wear such cool knitwear?
It’s all in the jeans. Brilliant - but possibly only for those who like the music.
Heard all. It was a tragic drama of a driven over-achiever against the odds but without the courage to be human.
It was a refreshingly unsentimental exploration of possible attitudes towards disability.
Wow! The moral of the story is: sink or swim. And what a swimming life and film.

Manic but I loved it! The sound is still blurry but it’s the film.
Aside from an issue with the screen ratio; a very good film.
Good because it was clever. Come back Gollum – all is forgiven. The film was as chaotic as Dury’s life – I’d forgotten how much I hated the punk era! I couldn’t hear and therefore understand a lot of the dialogue – that made it worse.
A blow to the solar plexus – more like being in a theatre than a film.
Boring film, rotten man.

Depicted the era well.
Cracking good film – what an era!
A reason to be cheerful!



The next film will be Broken Embraces dir: Pedro Almodovar on Thursday October 9th.

It’s good to be back. What a start! Good start to the season. Lovely Beautiful!
Great, Lovely film …..good choice! Most moving. Lovely Stunning
TERRIFIC, TERRIFIC, TERRIFIC !!! Ooh aah - a crackaah!

Very nostalgic – it could have been me – but it wasn’t.
Oh! Would I have been like that at 16?!
I thoroughly enjoyed it. It was as if the last 40 years never were!!!
Memories! Sobranies and Bristols ( the rare models). Can’t go back alas!
As a sad reminder as to how dull life really was – but most of us didn’t know any different.
My era – I almost did all of it.
A good film to start the new season. Some excellent acting bringing to life the memories of a period I had almost forgotten!

At last I’ve seen it! And it lived up to expectations. Many thanks.
Second time I’ve seen it – just as brilliant the second time.
Very much enjoyed it – a very good start to the season!
Was it me or are the acoustics bad at Durweston village hall?
Beautifully acted – first class but the sound was awful!
Better the second time but the sound was difficult.
It was a real quality performance by Mulligan. Difficult to hear the words. Could this be improved?

A half decent film. Food for thought. Less gritty than the build up from TV!
Predictable and disappointing. Slow and predictable.
An old scenario well-portrayed! A wonderful start to the season.
The plot was rather simple and predictable until the glove compartment then it was tighter.
Fantastic acting, remarkable set, original story. Really very good.
Was it an ego trip for Lynn Barber?

Just fantastic – brilliant acting. Great acting and a good ending!
I didn’t realise David Cameron was an actor in his day job!
Molina was outstanding. Miss Pike as a dumb blonde?
Wow! My childhood! (I was that embarrassed young lad – Graham)
Whatever happened to Graham? Did he become a famous author?
An excellent start to the season. Cary Mulligan was like a small Audrey Hepburn.

Excellent opener. More like this please. Excellent . Give us more! more! more!
Very evocative of the 60’s. Thank goodness attitudes to women’s education have changed.
Oh, she got in so it’s all OK.
Ah, if only she’d applied to Cambridge!


The next film is Sex n' Drugs n' Rock n' Roll at Durweston Village Hall on September 23rd, at 7.45.
