ENOUGH

Today's NYTimes Best 1176 Film was supposed to be

Saturday Night and Sunday Morning (1960)

But we have seen it 'recently' and that was difficult enough.

It is one of the 'angry young man' films. Tony Richardson's second after Look Back in Anger

It is a brutal film with little in the way of redemption. Relentless pessimism.

Finney is memorable.

But I don't have to see it again.

I would have knocked it out of the queue if I was paying attention.

I will give it a 2 out of Netflix5 because of the nastiness of it all.

After this film, Finney made and still makes great films.

He is a wonderful actor. Happy ending to angry story.
