The Girl in the Café (2005 TV Movie)
9/10
Another fine work by David Yates
25 June 2005
David Yates already impressed me with Sex Traffic and the short motion picture Rank.

It is really hard to point out what makes his movies so interesting. The characters are always nicely worked out but we never get to know them fully, some sort of mystery remains. Locations and scenery are well picked and beautifully shot. Form and story are always in great balance.

In 'The Girl in the Café' Yates has once again a superb cast. As a result we get some stunning acting by Bill Nighy and Kelly Macdonald (see also her small but nice role in Trainspotting as Diane, or the way she saves Strictly Sinatra from being a movie not worth seeing) I won't be thrilled by David Yates' next work, a Harry Potter sequel, since i would rather see him work on another motion picture for television. But hey, at least it's not weird to see Yates get the opportunity to work on a 'blockbuster', though i hope his real blockbuster is yet to come.
