The sceptical part of me thinks that…
Er… well it’s a documentary and it’s Planete Doc Review month, so that’s a lot of documentaries in one month and it’s not a genre I like to watch in large quantities really.
The excited part of me thinks that…
It’s had good reviews, I tend to like prison films (although I haven’t actually watched a documentary one yet) and I rather like the look of it :)

Trailer
The sceptical part of me thinks that…
It may turn out to be just another costume drama with nothing that makes it stand out.
The excited part of me thinks that…
It stars Ben Whishaw and is directed by Jane Campion, which makes me curious :)

The sceptical part of me thinks that…
I’ll probably only watch this if I feel like something a bit mindless and it’ll depend on what releases in June (this comes out on the 28th of May, so I’m more likely to see it in June really). It basically looks like a funny, but predictable family film.
The excited part of me thinks that…
It has a nice cast and I quite liked the first one (which was set in a totally different time period and had a very different cast - although ironically Colin Firth and Thomas Sangster who were in the first one both have other intriguing film releases this month *grin*). But basically, if I’m in the mood then why not :)
