Hanks is so good at this type of comedy, and I had forgotten how many memorable scenes there were! But you can keep the ones where the dog shakes slobber all over the place — that's almost enough to bump genres into horror.

Great performances from Fiennes and Mulligan. Fiennes gave me strong 'Rylance-as-BFG' accent vibes, which I certainly don't count that as a bad thing. I would be quite happy to watch them go dig something else up thanks.

Mumble, mumble. Bang, bang.

A beautifully crafted film, with consideration in every shot and a kick-ass soundtrack. Winding Refn certainly earned his Best Director award at Cannes this year, helped greatly by the outstanding performances of Gosling and Mulligan. I'll definitely need to see this again, and while I'm not much a fan of ultra-violence I couldn't imagine it working any other way in this film.
