Afternoon George, I think this is an example of a review needing a bit of plot synopsis and thematic discussion in order to put some of the points you're making into proper context. It would be good too to see you 'unpacking' some of your quotes - i.e. discussing their content and applying them to your own argument. I know this wasn't an easy film for your group (and I've got some even more challenging examples on their way to you), but just try and keep your mind nice and open, and an eye always on the conceptual concerns of the unit - i.e. how every little visual element in a given scene can contribute layers of meaning - this is also what your contextual study lectures have been about really - the idea that the visual world is manufactured from ideas... onwards! :)
