A heartwarming true story.
With an excellent central performance of Samantha Morton, Save the Cinema will have you laughing out loud one minute and wiping a tear away a moment later. Morton plays ‘Liz the Lyric’ beautifully, and although she makes the part her own, it is obvious that Morton and the production team have had access to archive documentary footage with snippets of real life dialogue faithfully and skillfully re-enacted.A stellar supporting cast (a who’s who of Welsh talent) topped by Tom Felton as a town councillor and Johnathon Pryce as her inspirational retired school teacher are swept up in Liz’s quest to save the condemned cinema of the title.
The fictional elements woven into the historical facts pluck at the heartstrings, particularly with Pryce’s reminiscences of watching Goodnight Mr Chips, which led him to becoming a teacher. The film is a wonderful testament to the efforts of a women and the legions of helpers and children she inspired.
The accompanying documentary Save the Cinema: Behind the Curtain on SKY is a recommended watch, presented by two of Liz’s real life sons, Mark and Wynne (of Go Compare infamy!)
Trash!
A poor attempt at a comedic approach to a true story with some Welsh caricatures which insult us – in particular the over-the-top comedic acting of the mayor.
