Went see Lincoln yesterday when I started this sneezing! Enjoyed but think sad will need hearing aid maybe normally sound so good at cinema can cope but could not catch all that was said especially by his wife .

Very well acted enjoyed got shock at end did not realise he was shot!

Ella46 I hope your friend and yourself get to see the film next week. I've heard it's very uplifting, and any film with Vanessa Redgrave in it will be well thought out. It must be very comforting for your friend that she has such a good friend as you being 'there' for herflowerssunshine

Tegan I loved Brassed Off, Made in Dagenham, Full Monty...I haven't got a very sophisticated taste in films, so I get the feeling Song For Marion will please me (even more so cos the Guardian film critic really slagged it off)
Ella45 Thanks, I'd appreciate your opinion on itsmile

I'm going to see it on Wed,so I'll let you know smile

It had a good review on Film Night, and Gemma Arterton is one of my favourite actresses [since seeing her in 'Tess', sob sad]. So I might give it a go. A bit in the mould of Brassed Off and Made in Dagenham I think.

Anyone seen 'Song For Marion' yet? I've read good and bad reviews on it, so if you've seen it, what's the verdict?
