  • Forgotten Love

    Forgotten Love

    2023, 2h 20m


    Genre: Drama, Romance
    TMDB Rating: 82%

    Our Review: Watched it on 11-12-2023 with HS, ASB, and CB in Burlington. It’s a Netflix film. “Forgotten Love” (Polish: Znachor, meaning “The Quack”) is a 2023 Polish film directed by Michał Gazda. It is an adaptation of the novel Znachor by Tadeusz Dołęga-Mostowicz. It has received very positive reviews from critics and audiences alike. It was a top film in 59 countries the first week it came out. A romantic drama, the film explores themes of love, loss, and the power of memories. If you’re a fan of foreign films, you’ll love this one! The story and acting are excellent. The main characters suffer incredible losses, yet a happy and emotionally moving ending comes to prevail. It’s an incredibly powerful film! Enjoyment rating: 4.5 stars.

    Clean Review: From a clean standpoint, there are a couple of scenes that portray couples starting to get intimate, but in truth, they are kept in their place so to speak. There is also great loss throughout the first 3/4 of the film, and some graphic scenes of medical procedures. On morality levels, this is a fairly average film. Adults, view it at your discretion and we hope these comments help you decide. Possibly not suitable for children or young teens. Clean Rating: 3.

    TMDB: A once-respected surgeon who’s lost his family and his memory gets a chance at redemption when he reconnects with someone from his forgotten past.

    Genre: Western, Comedy
    TMDB Rating: 69%

    Our Review: Watched it on 11-03-2023 with HS at our place in Niagara. Rented it on Amazon Prime. This is a genuine Western but also a genuine comedy. Excellent cinematography, beautiful scenery, excellent acting by Gibson, Foster, and Garner. It’s an interesting story, with lots of action. The movie tracks the adventures of the trio making their way to a major poker tournament and pays considerable attention to the game itself. This riverboat gambling section is exciting and intense. Fantastic twists near the end. The music is scored by Randy Newman and Vilmos Zsigmond does the photography. Based on the 1950s television series of the same name. The main character on TV was played by Garner. Here Gibson plays Maverick, and Garner has a huge supporting role. Enjoyment rating: 3.5 stars.

    Clean Review: From a clean standpoint, there are a few expletives throughout the movie. Of course the whole premise of the movie is of the leading characters “taking people for their money” through petty theft, deception and through card playing. An objectionable scene occurs where the main characters engage in a tryst on the riverboat. Thankfully this is all behind a large bed, and nothing objectionable is actually seen. On morality levels, this is perhaps just below that of an average film. Adults, view it at your discretion and we hope these comments help you decide. Not suitable for children or young teens. Clean Rating: 3.

    TMDB: Maverick is a gambler who would rather con someone than fight them, and needs an additional three thousand dollars in order to enter a winner-takes-all poker game that begins in a few days, so he joins forces with a woman gambler with a marvellous southern accent, and the two try and enter the game.
