Sideshow

I stumbled upon this movie quite by accident looking for something else beginning with the word "side", saw the poster and decided to give it a try. I don't watch too much comedy these days as it seems the genera has become very stale and for lack of a better term, "woke" for my taste but I decided to give it a go and was presently surprised to find myself honestly laughing out loud on multiple occasions. I can see some people not caring for it and sideshow is probably not goin into any one's top 10 lists but its definitely worth a watch for anyone who likes semi dark British comedy/ crime drama.

Séance Heist: Vengeance and greed lead a pair of incompetent criminals into a psychic's den of danger and deceit. Haunting, hilarious and thoroughly entertaining, this is a comedy of escalating catastrophes and a tragic ode to the unlucky. Another pinnacle for Les Dennis, a gifted supporting cast, and a beautifully impressive third act. Some of the first act's characterisations, dialogue and plot may be a little predictable. Mental health issues may be over-generalised. But there's more chance of you being hit by a meteorite than not enjoying this film with a wide grin!

Really excellent film, thoroughly enjoyed the acting, writing and atmosphere of this thoroughly British independent. Excellent score by Michael Csanyi Wills. Go and see it.
