Review of The Idiot’s Lantern by KieranCooper

31 March 2025

2025 REWATCH

  • It's a light, easy watch, a  period piece with a very memorable visual gimmick that most casual fans always remember, too
  • Stylistically, the way this story is filmed and put together makes it fresh and adds some flavour to it
  • I think in this story, David put a bit too much enthusiasm into the role. He was shouting and pronouncing every line, like gees calm down
  • The Wire itself is a great concept and eerie in design, and the way the faceless victims are left is nasty to look at, so hats off to everyone in their creation
  • It's just the Connolly family that I think needs more time. Quick-fire some smaller scenes to add details. Plus, in that ending scene, Rose gets Tommy to try and forgive his Dad, but you know, give it a day or so, right?
