I’m usually not that enthusiastic about Zwartjes, but this one was really good (I loved the music).

Comfort and Joy was very disappointing for me. I just didn’t see in it the sort of fantasy that I liked in Forsyth’s previous films.

Zwartjes stuff is all looking way too much the same for me. I went with Comfort & Joy even though I didn’t enjoy it as much as the other Forsyth films used so far. Wow, I was so frustrated at the beginning of this movie. I wanted to reach out and slap Matty for being so self centered and to slap Alan for worshiping her and encouraging her to be so horrible to him.

based on what I have seen

I wanted Forsyth to win this whole thing.

Oh well, everyone should watch Breaking In and Local Hero
