Set to broadcast in two one-hour films, this family treat is inspired by the classic books of Barbara Euphan Todd and is pegged to be the TV event of the season. Mackenzie Crook has taken Scatterbrook farm and the infamous characters of this well-loved tale and injected them with a tender and authentic charm. This is the perfect family adventure, packed with a fun, mischievous spirit and delivered with an environmental message.
Mackenzie Crook, (Pirates Of The Caribbean, Detectorists) who has written, directed and stars as Worzel Gummidge, has gathered a host of both accomplished and brilliant actors who are set to appear in this eagerly anticipated adaptation.
Playing The Green Man, creator of the scarecrows, who arrives to Scatterbrook in episode two, is comedy legend Sir Michael Palin. He says: “It’s a lovely part for me, but the whole script is very memorable and touching, and very funny too. It quite skillfully weaves in something for everybody all the time.”
Zoë Wanamaker (My Family, Harry Potter And The Philosophers Stone) will play the eccentric local aristocrat, Lady Bloomsbury Barton in episode two. She says: “The whole thing is so charming and inventive. It’s the sort of thing I’d watch. I’m sure it will be a huge success. I know it will - it’s divine.”
Vicki Pepperdine (Getting On, The Windsors) takes on the role of the formidable Aunt Sally in episode one. She says: “There’s something for everybody. It’s got this heart to it, and you’d be hard pushed as an adult not to engage with it.”
Steve Pemberton (League Of Gentleman, Benidorm) will play Mr Braithwaite, the farmer. He says: “This is the kind of show the whole family can enjoy together. It has a lot of humour, a lot of visual humour too, and I think kids will enjoy watching the children being central to the story.”
Rosie Cavaliero (Gentleman Jack, Cleaning Up) will play Mrs Braithwaite, she added: “It’s a story about the imagination, and children escaping into this different world. Mackenzie’s version is totally contemporary.”
Ones to watch India Brown (Hetty Feather) and Thierry Wickens (making his TV debut) will play Susan and John, two city children spending their summer at Scatterbrook farm who quickly befriend Worzel and begin a summer of adventures.
The first episode, The Scarecrow Of Scatterbrook, sees two young strangers arrive in the village of Scatterbrook. It’s not long before Susan and John encounter Worzel Gummidge, the Scarecrow of Ten Acre Field. Their world is sent spinning into confusion when they realise Gummidge comes to life. The only person more shocked is Worzel, when he discovers that the children are not in fact fellow scarecrows but humans.
Their worlds should never commune but fate has conspired to create an extraordinary union. The seasons have stopped and the harvest hasn’t arrived. The rhythm of the natural world is out of kilter and this unlikely trio must try to put it right. Magic, mystery and mayhem unfurl.
The second episode, The Green Man, welcomes another mysterious arrival to Scatterbrook. The Green Man is the creator of scarecrows and keeper of scarecrow lore. He isn’t at all happy that Worzel is consorting with humans. Elsewhere, local aristocrat Lady Bloomsbury Barton is holding a fete, with a Scarecrow competition that Worzel is determined to win. What will The Green Man and Worzel's most competitive rival, Soggy Bogart make of it all?
Worzel Gummidge is written and directed by Mackenzie Crook and is a Leopard Pictures, Treasure Trove Productions and Lola Entertainment production for BBC One. It is Executive Produced by Kristian Smith for Leopard Pictures, Lisa Thomas for Lola Entertainment, Mackenzie Crook for Treasure Trove Productions, with rights holders Patrick D. Pidgeon and Eric S. Rollman executive producers for Pidgeon Entertainment, Inc. It is produced by Georgie Fallon and Alex Moody is the Commissioning Editor for the BBC.

威尼斯非竞赛单元全球首映，《Baby Driver》导演埃德加·赖特的新片。题材有趣但不恐怖，结构问题略有瑕疵。主演之一的安雅·泰勒-乔伊昨天穿上死亡芭比粉礼服也太美了，不愧是新晋的世界顶流女星。我该补《后翼弃兵》了🎀
Ch-Ch-Ch-Chip 'n Dale Rescue Rangers!
看简介还以为是歌女遭到父权社会结构性压迫和性剥削、裁缝穿越回60年代girl helps girl 的故事，但揭露歌女真实身份时突兀地变成美杜莎终成杀人犯、弱女子手刃负心汉的血浆爽片。这还没完，还剩十分钟时，剧情又单行道掉头回到GHG，充分展示了“我全都要”的贪心。一盘菜酸甜苦辣咸五味俱全，没点手艺在它不可能好吃，而导演确实手艺不精。女主几经波折身心俱疲时，一直来聊骚的黑人小哥提议你甭坐火车了，我开车送你回家。一般悬疑片接下来该安排小哥露出庐山真面目开启新一段大逃杀，但是虚晃一枪什么也没发生，完全不知道这个角色到底有什么用，可能导演想告诉观众世上还是有好男人吧。结局歌女杀尽天下嫖娼狗，女主被下药的情况下完成反杀，上一次看到现实题材里女性战斗力如此离谱还是《我唾弃你的坟墓》。
《谁陷害了花栗鼠奇蒂？》，本蒂蒂粉丝做梦笑醒系列🤣这么多年，好莱坞的动漫明星们还是那么卷～小飞侠、乐佩等一众老顶流塌方，还有Pooj, The Fat Honey Bear，这个盗版可以有！
赖特当然是个“迷影导演”——这里取的意思是：他没有立场，他只顾寻求反类型的概念与叙事快感，这场对60年代的大型凝视秀（不只是男性在凝视舞台上的女性，也有女性观众在向往舞台，然而赖特却并没有探讨此事的意图），因为最后的结尾而没有带来丝毫反思性的结果。最后呈现出的，是社会中的男性受害者遭受了女性过多的怨气，女性受害者变为加害者而不被社会所接纳——男权社会似乎并未受到批判，女性获救的方式是“走出”就好，可是哪有那么简单呢？影片开头埃丽的表演状态就是60年代的歌舞片（模仿赫本），随着唱片卡碟才正式进入故事，这就已经预示了对浮华时代的解构性：铅黄电影是对女性的剥削，那个时代的歌舞片又何尝不是呢？赖特恐怕也意识到了自己的虎头蛇尾和无法自圆其说，于是在最后让男性（跨性别者）穿上女主设计的服装，无甚收效。
2021年最好的电影出现了！！！女人对男，性的恐惧被表现得淋漓尽致，后半程持续不断地输出这种恐惧，劈头盖脸而来。时空倒转，身份互换相当漂亮的剪辑手法，BGM起到了真正烘托牵引的作用，屏幕就像第三面镜子，把观众往里面拽，太精彩了！当然，一如既往的我们观众看心灵骑旅的时候会感同身受成年人的孤独，而对于女性在电影里的遭遇就只是一个故事，一个讨巧的题材罢了，男性视角不在电影中，而在电影外。
我认为这部电影根本没有多么玄乎 也没有什么如同寂静岭一般的表世界里世界啥的 核心思想太简单了 London can be a lot, 尤其是离谱的租金会让人找不到合适的房子，你让任何一个贫穷女大学生住这种公寓试试，隔音差就不说了，窗帘还不遮光，让你半夜想睡觉的时候外面霓虹灯这么照一个礼拜，谁住谁精神分裂 所有的伏笔到最后一个没用上 麦高芬完全没有 除了anya美艳不可方物以外 整部片子就是一个completly fiasco罢了。
视听营造没得说，沉浸感很强，前2/3看的心潮澎湃，结尾揭开谜底开始一落千丈，怪不得分会不高
给我最直观的感受：夜总会开场非常惊艳，镜子的折射无数次想到了《红辣椒》。但过于眼花缭乱的炫技，无限注水的画面叠加，各种精神迷乱场面多到厌烦了。篇长完全可以精简半小时以上。不需要给观众一整场都是错乱的梦，我们需要有内容的食粮，而不是ecstasy.
女性视角的设定和立意都很好，Anya Taylor-Joy的演技一如既往的棒，唱歌那里非常惊艳。奈何故事老套反转无趣，配乐也没有任何惊悚氛围的烘托，最后的强行大团圆也令人无语……女主的设计成品也很丑……但是最致命的还是女主的演技……仿佛看到了暮光之城的小k，全程基本一个表情到底，每一个配角的演技都可以血虐她……不懂为啥选她……
不少人是冲着安雅·泰勒-乔伊来看的吧。
故事是中规中矩的故事，但是梗太密集了以至于不停反思这里是不是一个反讽……
是好看的，中途太像《穆赫兰道》了。问题是内核失序，又或者抛弃了内核。其实没必要把女主拍得那么疯批的，本人最讨厌看起来像精神病患者的角色了。创作者的表达僭越基本逻辑之后，也关闭走向观众的通道，只能在舞台上独自肆意表演，流于泛滥形式。以及不是像斯派克李那样放一通大火就释放《为所应为》的愤怒了好吧，况且还是意外失火。不能指望观众大半夜魂被吓掉了就不带脑子了喂。
7/10 如果喜欢开篇脑洞大开idea、惊艳视觉效果，还喜欢老铅黄，那这片就对口了，外表功夫足够让人满意，还有美爆的安雅和流行60s金曲，虽然人物扁平，故事就像气球，前面鼓足气，从50分钟开始泄气一直泄到尾，到结尾连气球胶皮都要老化没了太糟了。还有中间太多重复出现的faceless man和声音回响太过于审美疲劳和hysteria了，我也并不认同把插曲、配乐、对白、背景音效全混在一起的乱炖混音。btw我一眼就认出来洁西梅李
大型MV，虽然安雅是很美，但是剧情实在是太薄弱，尽管最后的悬念和揭底都还不错，但整个故事撑不起一部电影。
音速小丑那个真是绝了，设计成那样还好意思放到别的片子里吐槽，一点不觉着好笑。
漂亮的厌男片。纽约，伦敦，镜像，阶梯，60年代和复古思潮，让人很难不喜欢。
来看惊悚安雅的没想到还有小十一，女主演员很灵耶
4.5/10。真网大，整个大迷惑，看完后回想第一段《布鲁克林》式女孩进城是想干嘛反讽吗？无聊了长段被霸凌觉醒的戏之后开始了导演熟悉的“致敬环节”，未麻的部屋、闪灵、阴风阵阵等等剧情镜头往里塞，可惜这次没有好听的土嗨金曲兜底变成了四不像。导演对女性是完全没有共情的，但你不是希区柯克啊。
Sandie跟Eloise的相似点是，「伦敦可不简单」「不必担心，我能吃掉它们」。她们都能对抗环境。只是Eloise遇到的状况跟Sandie不可同日而语。她手握奖学金，有前途，有未来。Sandie天赋不足，才华不够，为了谋生不得不沦为妓女。但这是时代的问题还是个人的问题？给女性带来的恐惧与绝望在今天有更好吗？最后20分钟从柯林斯太太开门开始，观众心中顿时雪亮，一切都变了。把线收得这么窄，彻底为恐怖而恐怖，脱离探讨内心恐惧的方向。Eloise是为了帮助一个跟自己境遇相似的女子才冒着被当成精神病和疯子的风险而奋不顾身，到头来却被这名女子以疯子的名义而计算杀害，这是什么主题？被虐杀的男子鬼魂向她求助，是利用了她对另一名女性的感同身受？？Eloise救不了Sandie，影片也没有给出出路，只能玉石俱焚，今天还有很多的Sandie，她们又能怎么办呢？
