Off the Rails (2021)
Pure joyful escapism!
During the past 12 months, I have attended screenings of more serious, topical movies which have moved me to sadness, despair and frustration with our planet's current state.
This is a refreshing, purely joyful departure.
If you are a woman of that 'challenging' age this one will make you smile.
I expected nothing as I took my seat, and was transported to a familiar time when Debbie Harry and her band Blondie ruled the radio waves.
I cried, laughed, sang along and allowed myself to reminisce about a happier part of life, when my friends where not obsessed with followers on whichever social media app.
The critics won't rate this one highly, but I say, sit back relax and enjoy!!!
Don't analyse the plot, (there is no sub-plot to follow), just let this delightful movie simplify the world.
I'm so very glad that I am not a professional critic. I was able to let 'Off the Rails' take me away to blissful memories.
P. S. : Watch for the glorious cameo from yummy Martin Shaw! 🤗

A valuable opportunity to use your OWN imagination.
Instead of the mundane, predictable and obvious plot lines, enter the world of nuance, beauty and subtlety.
Those who appreciate the delicacy of Arabian cinema understand that as the viewer, you participate within your own experience...unlike the dull, mundane and predictable, force-fed Disneyesque works of popular Western dime-a-dozen films.
As a person who has been fortunate enough to walk the streets of this film and live within it's world, I warmly embraced the opportunity to travel back to this culture in the time of Covid.
Embrace an opportunity to use your OWN imagination...resist being a lazy viewer who needs an obvious conclusion.
Our world is not that narrow!
