Stars: Lily Laight, Charlie Rixon, Daniel Fraser, Eleanor Wyld, Owen Pugh, Dylan Llewellyn, Georgina Minter-Brown, David Broughton-Davies, David Barnaby, Timothy Block, Ria Carroll | Written and Directed by Darren Paul Fisher
Thematically similar to the Divergent franchise – in that children are tested at a young age and their place in society is determined given the results – British sci-fi film Frequencies plays out like an extended episode of Tales of the Unexpected crossed with the philosophical science of a film such as Darren Aronofsky’s Pi and/or The Fountain….
In a dystopian future, children’s ability to succeed in life is determined at a young age, based on their own personal ‘frequency’ which dictates just how lucky they will be. In the process of testing one particular group, it transpires that Marie (Laight) has an impossibly high frequency, making her the luckiest girl in the world. At the same testing, Zak...

Title: Love, Rosie Director: Christian Ditter Starring: Lily Collins, Sam Claflin, Suki Waterhouse, Jaime Winstone, Christian Cooke and Lily Laight Fearlessly pursuing your goals and dreams, no matter how many obstacles or conflicts stand in your way, is a praiseworthy stance not many people always have the courage to follow. But the two lead characters in director Christian Ditter’s new romantic comedy, ‘Love, Rosie,’ entrancingly proves that despite the continuous struggles people face in their personal and professional lives, their faith and persistence will lead them to their desires. The movie, which is based on Cecelia Ahearn’s acclaimed book, ‘Where Rainbows End,’ and penned by screenwriter Juliette Towhidi, mixes its [ Read More ]

Title: Frequencies Directed By: Darren Paul Fisher Starring: Daniel Fraser, Eleanor Wyld, Dylan Llewellyn, Georgina Minter-Brown, Owen Pugh, David Broughton-Davies, Lily Laight Charlie Rixon, Tom England The most impressive feat in “Frequencies” is its exceptional union of science and romance, but that only makes it more noticeable when the balance is off, even if just the slightest bit. “Frequencies” takes place in a world where a person’s frequency determines their luck, relationships, potential and everything in between. Shortly after a grade school test confirms that Zak is low frequency and Marie is high frequency, the two begin experimenting with their tendency to literally repel each other regardless of how they [ Read More ]

A film to warm the cockles of your geeky heart, an incredibly ambitious and profoundly provocative science fiction drama about ideas that require no FX to sell them. I’m “biast” (pro): yay! real science fiction! yay!
I’m “biast” (con): nothing
(what is this about? see my critic’s minifesto)
Are you hungry for true ideas-fueled science fiction? Do you lament that we so rarely see such things in movies? Then here is a film to warm the cockles of your geeky heart. For here we have a low-budget — I’m gonna guess ultra-low-budget — little British tale from a slightly parallel universe where everyone has a “frequency.” High frequency correlates with good luck and “nature” working hard to give you “everything you want”; low frequency correlates with klutziness and doofiness and general bad luck. It’s a metaphor for privilege and chance and even romantic attraction, though...

With its leading stars coming off the back of starring in young adult blockbusters, Love, Rosie sees Lily Collins and Sam Claflin returning to a decidedly more intimate affair.
With its release expected later this year, the first official images of Collins and Claflin have landed online, giving a rather rose-tinted look at the upcoming romantic comedy-drama.
Courtesy of Amazon, here’s the synopsis for Cecelia Ahern’s original novel, Where Rainbows End, upon which the film is based.
Since childhood, Rosie and Alex have stuck by each other through thick and thin. But they’re separated when Alex and his family move from Dublin to America. Their magical connection remains but can their friendship survive the years and miles?
Misunderstandings, circumstances and sheer bad luck have kept them apart – until now. But will they gamble everything – including their friendship – on true love? And what twists and surprises does fate...
