The White Lotus: Season 3 First Reviews: Moody and Darker Than Before, but Still Hilarious and Incisive
Link to The White Lotus: Season 3 First Reviews: Moody and Darker Than Before, but Still Hilarious and Incisive
Jason G Used to watch this when I was a kid. Still like watching it after all these years. Far better than the real life film. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 04/20/24 Full Review Teddy B A dazzling and visually disorienting film that is matched only in equal parts of its lovely animation and faithfulness and genuine love of the original novel by Roald Dahl. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 12/05/23 Full Review Oliver A This was the only film adaptation of his work that Roald Dahl ever approved of whilst he was alive and apparently he and his family gave a standing ovation when they attended the premiere. By comparison he openly hated The Witches and Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. Whilst this film may not be to the taste of adult audiences, those who watched it as young people can enjoy a wonderful nostalgia trip by rewatching this film as a grown up. It has a lot more grit and heart than most modern animated films by a long way and is free from the Americanisation of modern-day Hollywood that so ruins many adaptations of classic works. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 07/29/23 Full Review Audience Member I saw it as a kid in class and I adored it then. Now as an adult, I still like it a lot and it gives me a lot of nostalgia, but it's not really a film for adults. Yes, it is enjoyable for families but I know a lot of animated films out there that got even better through time, this is just a kids film and not much more than that. But it's good, it has a lot of creativity and likable characters. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 01/30/23 Full Review Audience Member the best ever animated movie Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/19/23 Full Review Audience Member Awesome so I take it as a fairytale also remember there is a live-action Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 07/02/18 Full Review Read all reviews
