| | |  'Driving Lessons' film review
Ciaran from Mugglenet yesterday attended the Dublin Film Festival where ' Driving Lessons' [starring Rupert Grint and Julie Walters] was screened. The full review [including quotes from the film and a run-through of the plot] can be read here. Quote:
“Give me the car key,” she says.
“What? OK, fine…” says Rupert.
She then swallows it.
Now, we see another side to Ben. He turns angry, but absolutely incredulous at the same time. At this point, my lack of confidence in Rupert’s acting ability completely subsided. He pulled off the emotions spectacularly, and curses for the first time, which is pretty hilarious.
“What? You must be out of your mind!” he bellows.
“Don’t worry… It’ll [the key] be with us in the morning,” says Evie nonchalantly.
Quote:
All in all, I think this was a terrific film. The audience becomes emotionally involved in the film as we see the actors portray feelings of loneliness and despondency, but comic relief is also used to great effect. I believe Rupert’s acting at the beginning of the film was – to be honest – awful. But it turns out, he was meant to be extremely shy and introverted. We really see his true ability as the film progresses and his character becomes more relaxed and extroverted in the company of his good friend, Evie.

Rated 9/10 as well! I'm looking forward to this movie and I really hope it comes out in the U.S. Quote:

Julie Walters really sounds like she did a great job too.

I was not happy with the review at all. I need a real critic outside of the HP universe to give me their opinion of the movie.

well no one is perfect, one thing is to be in a few scenes compare to be in the entire movie, we can see more flaws than anything else.
All actors have good and bad scenes!!
