The Delicate Art of Parking is held together because of its strong characters. They’re funny, they’re quirky and, most of all, they’re realistic.
Sticks to the familiar but he does it in such a way that it’s still extremely creepy, a little bit campy and, at times, quite a lot of fun.
Life After Death is a disappointing continuation and maybe letting go will be for the best rather than let it continue at an inferior level.
At its simplest, it’s a gorgeous film with beautiful period costumes and intricate set designs. However, something tells me that’s not the level director Saul Dibb wanted to achieve greatest on.

Made at the time as a plead for international peace, its message should still ring true today where the world picture is more complex and, in many ways, more splintered and dangerous.
