Solemplex To me, this movie is perfection.

Gutsycurene Fanciful, disturbing, and wildly original, it announces the arrival of a fresh, bold voice in American cinema.

Senteur As somebody who had not heard any of this before, it became a curious phenomenon to sit and watch a film and slowly have the realities begin to click into place.

Tymon Sutton The acting is good, and the firecracker script has some excellent ideas.

iancollard-89174 I love this series. The expert conservators and restorers are superb at their work and it's great to see the before and after results. The stories behind the restorations can be a little sentimental but that is not a criticism. However, what exactly does Jay Blades do? Other than greet most of the people who bring their beloved but bedraggled possessions to the shop and then share in the praise after the specialists have, in his words "worked their magic", he never is actually shown doing any work on the items, save for lending a pitiful hand now and again. Also, he seems to ask rather naive questions of the experts when he is supposed to be one himself. The programme would work just as well, if not better without him, but he's the current face of the BBC's daytime schedule and in their eyes needs to be given as much exposure as possible.
