Original Broadcast: The Business Of Film
James Cameron-Wilson was staggered by the imagery of #4 Wildwood, the longest stop-motion animated feature ever. Set in Portland and surrounding forests, it's an emotionally dark film but is full of humour and superb dialogue. While it is great fun, it is nothing that hasn't been seen before. Not so #17 Klara and the Sun, in which an outmoded robot tries to help a family. TV Wednesday's Jenna Ortega proves herself a superb physical comedienne. The film may annoy some for not being like Ishiguro's novel but it's poignant, funny and visually like a children's picture book come to life. On Amazon Prime is the dreadfully-titled Love of Your Life, produced by Ryan Gosling. Starring Margaret Qualley, it's a complex love story with many gear changes. But nothing is clichéd and the film gets under your skin. It's the best Amazon Prime movie for some time.
