Review of Paddington 2 (2017) by Frank C — 11 Nov 2017
A cast iron case as one of the five best of 2017, although, to be honest, having seen most of this year's offerings I can't really think of anything else that had the same impact; brilliantly inventive, fantastically paced & superbly played, with a knockout emotional wallop that very little else has had all year.
Films like this don't make award short lists, but it's an instant classic and one of the most accomplished technical achievements we've seen. Modern films revel in realist incomplete, cynical resolutions which are sometimes more absurd than something uplifting; in an ideal world, I'd like to see this little bear break through tedious political correctness and give Oscar a run for his money.
