The Business of Film: The Bikeriders, Something in the Water & Fancy Dance
With the box office relatively robust, despite the warmer weather, James Cameron-Wilson saw Jodie Comer and Tom Hardy in #2 The Bikeriders, taking £1.1m. Despite its great look and some fine acting, he found it a poseurfest that doesn't knit together and lacks real characters. He was impressed by #10 Something in the Water. Although it only took £120,000, this terrific British-made Carribean-set survival thriller is head and shoulders above most genre films this year. Unusually for James, he was genuinely unnerved on many occasions. He was also impressed by Apple TV's Fancy Dance, an unblinking look at life on an American reservation with Lily Gladstone which is moving and touching and perhaps the most realistic film about contemporary Native Americans.
