Rudy (2023)
Poignant and beautiful
6 January 2024 - 3 out of 5 users found this review helpful.
This is a film to stay with you. No flashy special effects or daring car races... just a simple, beautifully shot film about a family grieving the loss of a mother, with Rudy the teenager rebelling in her own way. Family life carries on as best it can with two gorgeous, and at times hilarious, younger siblings and a stoical Dad who is just doing his best. The addition of an older glamorous lodger, former ballerina Dorothea, adds to the mix. There are moments of dread, sadness and laughter. All backed with wonderful musical choices including an original piano score. It was a privilege to see this at our local Methodist Church Film Club in Great Ayton, North Yorkshire with a very good turn-out of around 60 people.
