THE AERONAUTS – Review by Diane Carson

Some breathtaking events seem absolutely perfect for film, and that is certainly true for The Aeronauts. Set in 1862 England, the suspenseful, thrilling story goes with James Glaisher and Emilia Wren, adventurers determined to advance science and meteorology while also setting a new altitude record for a gas balloon, above 36,000 feet, with no auxiliary, pressurized breathing apparatus.

WILD ROSE – Review by Diane Carson

June 18, 2019June 21, 2019 Diane Carson 0 Comments jessie buckley, julie walters, tom harper, wild rose

Wild Rose is, in some ways, better because it indulges and then rises above the conventional arc of aspiring artist stories. Director Tom Harper has demonstrated his affection for the daring and atypical with, for example, his work on one of my favorite British television series, Peaky Blinders. Wild Rose delivers energy, thoughtful evaluation of dreams, and assertion of real values.
