Still brilliant 30 years after the first watch
26 January 2021
I watched this when Keanu was young and so was I; I loved it then and I still do. It gets at some very uncomfortable truths about prejudice and I genuinely doubt anyone would feel able to make it now in case the audience couldn't be trusted to see the sub text. The love story is perfect and the setting feels like a quiet character in the background. Peter Falk is brilliant in his role as the omnipotent writer taking no responsibility for the 'reality impacting' in the wake of his storytelling. Funny and fierce yet beguiling and warm; give it a go.
