Wissenswertes
Liz Evans, on whom the film's protagonist is based, is the mother of Wynne Evans, famous for his 'Gio Compario' character on the Go Compare adverts.

Patzer
As Tom walks up the stairs in the golf club he walks past a champions board with the date 2016 showing. This is impossible as the film is set in the 1990s.

A pretty cool true story, but

A pretty cool true story, but the film itself? Rather poor.

'Save the Cinema' is simply too on the nose for my liking, it's cringey in a fair few bits and even pretentious in others. It does have a good cast, though that aside it struggles to get away from the fact that it feels like a made-for-television Christmas-esque movie - literally so with the plot.

Samantha Morton, Jonathan Pryce and Tom Felton are as solid as you'd expect, though the Welsh accents kept taking me out of it - Pryce was born in Wales admittedly, yet even his accent sounded off... might just be me though. I didn't overly like any of that trio's, or their co-star's tbh, performances though, I just like Morton/Pryce/Felton from others things more than anything.

I wouldn't say this is a bad film, it's just a really lousy one in my opinion. I could see it finding an audience though.
