SWINGERSI
Watchable. The narcissistic celebrity is brilliant. The comedy is engaging, with a number of riveting songs in English. The shooting locations listed mention only two towns in Latvia, where the writers, director and the school kid extras come from, but a panorama of Warsaw and I think the exterior of my former secondary school are used too. Polish actors, clearly handpicked for comic talents. I had fun most of the time. Unfortunately, typical for Poland of late, profuse swearing makes it considerably less funny and certainly less romantic. Not many loud laughs, apart from maybe the kidnapee running, but makes for a nice night out anyway. There are scenes along with the end credits.
MILITARY WIVES
Recommended. I could listen to them time after time. A masterclass in effective and affective cinema. Humour, emotions, sorrow and lots of hit songs in angelic voices. Perfectly acted too.
Reviewed from a screener. Cinematic reception might differ.
