Judy & Punch (2019)
7/10
Tight Script great Performances
3 March 2021
Loved it ! Good continuity with a storyline that kept moving , regardless of the vague time period it was set in . Good sets And loved the original footage at the end from my own childhood days where puppet shows were the things we watched before ever there was television. Both Damon and Mia were brilliant and I loved seeing Terry Norris back on the screen too. A shame there are so many negative comments as I found it a great interpretation of the violence of Punch ( the puppet, and in this case the man) as finally countered by Judy ( the puppet original, and here the woman ) as she found support and the strength to stand up to years of abuse. An analogy for our times , for any times over the centuries and not necessarily far right feministic propaganda, rather a long awaited fairness to be able to live a life without fear. A shame that like so many hime grown films it did not get the publicity and promotion it should have received and recognition for its fine director Mirrah Foulkes and a very fine cast.
