MISS-NAMED HERE. IT SHOULD BE SHOWN AS: "RED-RIDING TRIOLOGY--1974", et cetera and it should be rated R. I GIVE IT 4* BECAUSE THE MOVIE... KES PLACE IN ENGLAND AND THE CHARACTERS SPEAK ENGLISH BUT I COULD NOT UNDERSTAND BUT EVERY 10 WORDS OF WHAT SOME OF THE CHARACTERS WERE SAYING BUT I WAS OKAY WITH IT BECAUSE I FELT LIKE I WAS HAVING AN 'ADVENTURE' AT THE THEATER. (WELL, TRYING TO HAVE A LITERARY ADVENTURE AT THE THEATER.) The Shattuck Landmark Cinemas have the absolute best seats in the theater houses. No other theater that I have been to even comes close to the seats in the SLC. So, I was very comfortable knowing fair-well that I would be doing this for three nights in a row. The trilogy is like one movie over three nights and it does give you the feeling that you've been transplanted into some facet of English culture that has not been airbrushed to appear something else. The Trilogy is based on a novel but it is human drama unfolding with all of its pretenses removed. I did feel (sort of) like I was revisiting Dickens and his numerous works describing "the human condition”--not so much "the human experience." NOTE: I caught the 7:30pm show; most of the people in the theater were seniors. The young people were going to see the Academy Award winners for short-films. --M Full Review
