#SilverScreenBlack reviews: 'Sideshow' (2021)



(1hr 34mins, UK)

⭐⭐⭐⭐

📣Séance Heist: Vengeance and greed lead a pair of incompetent criminals into a psychic's den of danger and deceit.

👍Gold purses:
Haunting, hilarious and thoroughly entertaining, this is a comedy of escalating catastrophes and a tragic ode to the unlucky.
Another pinnacle for Les Dennis, a gifted supporting cast, and a beautifully impressive third act.

👎Black curses:
Some of the first act's characterisations, dialogue and plot may be a little predictable.
Mental health issues may be over-generalised.
But there's more chance of you being hit by a meteorite than not enjoying this film with a wide grin.

🥇Best quote:
"There are three things in life that I don't trust. Banks, the internet, and agents."

🙁Best depressing quote:
"Prove it. Read my mind then!"
"I'm sorry son, but there really isn't much in there to be working with."

😎Best '80s mention:
"Look at them. It's like the cast reunion of 'Cocoon'!"
