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.

九十年代后香港很少描写校园生活的电影作品（这点与内地、台湾电影对比很明显），而这片讲的则是一所女校里两个女生之间的朦朦胧胧的爱情、友情，整体也比较保守。同类型影片个人更喜欢去年年底台湾的那部《第一次遇见花香的时刻》
谈善言在同辈演员中已经出类拔萃许久，杨偲泳这次表现亮眼，温柔又坚定，调皮又成熟。两位女演员几场感情冲突的戏份，都很令人动容，最后互表心意的结尾看哭了。
叙述节奏没把握好，有时显得很零散，没有特别的起伏和高潮，直到后半程临近尾声的地方才比较抓人。整体的艺术设计令人失望，就很平淡，和Gucci的调性也不相符。演员里帕西诺最出彩，开云老板娘我很喜欢，男女主尤其男主并不令人印象深刻。6.5星
为什么没有在一起，我觉得是悦的原生家庭让她没有办法承受一段如此真挚热烈同时又无比禁忌的爱，于是她越是爱就跑得越远。
只能说期待导演剪辑版了！即使是158分钟，什么都说了又什么都没说完，一切剧情和人物设置为嘎嘎冲奥服务，导演和编剧毫无掌控能力，摄影服化道也并不出彩！真的，电影这么拍，导演这都是晚节不保呢！导演你有时间还是拍异形或是普罗米修斯吧！嘎嘎这次用力过猛，她真的也没啥天赋呢，还是希望她赶紧得奥斯卡，别再演戏了；不过这次增肥的效果，真像重点的伊丽莎白泰勒。还有就是司机哥，真的怎么哪哪都是他，他真的一脸犹太人和工人的长相，非常不适合演一些贵族有钱的角色；而且看着人就很精明，不像任人摆布的样子。铁叔演得最好，真贵气啊。帕帕真老了，剧情让他有点拉胯。我反而觉得兔兔演得不错呢，把一个有野心的废物诠释得很到位，让观众很讨厌，这才是演技呢！杰克休斯顿就好背景板啊，但是演技好，也没法忽视呢！
部分桥段单看挺喜欢的，比如模仿钟表滴答声时的接吻，婚礼前提醒扣错的内衣带子，婚礼时戴给咏蓝的戒指。芯悦脆弱又有点残忍，咏蓝勇敢却不知所措，片子里很多人物转变的逻辑都没有交代或不够有说服力，但是最终，好像也只能这样
2/11/2021 @ PREMIERE ELEMENTS [hkaff]。預告已經講完整個故事….不過也好在故事比較簡單純粹，所以兩位新導演也沒有嚴重車禍，只是可惜如天主教女校、00年代情懷元素等的背景設定無好好利用。而片中其實有很多技術問題，剪接上明顯不夠素材才用上大量VO、一鏡直落的重頭戲竟然有污跡在畫面左上方…..演員靠阿談由頭帶到尾，Renci由中段開始多內心戲就出事，陳健朗剃鬚後完全係大學生，所以阿Will就只客串了一個背影….?
好莱坞古典风格，斯科特一直在坚守这种拍法，也许是年纪大了，《Gucci》虽偶有亮眼之处但仍然掩盖不了整体上的平庸，剧情散淡人物空洞，Pacino的几场戏依旧张力十足，GaGa演技成熟不少，
刚开始看还是可以的，但是到后面越来越乱。老雷明明可以认真讲古驰家族的兴衰，但是讲的东西实在是太多了，又是婚姻，又是爱情，又是杀夫，又是内斗的，很容易让观众产生疲倦。虽然说这一部老雷水平确实有所下降，不过演员们的演技确实是一大看点。
多出一星给自己回忆里美好爱情的片段，很美好很渺小也很短暂，你永远知道世界的某个角落有个他，有关爱情的美妙时刻都是他。
满分给my dear best friend 🙋
那些鼓吹的所谓奢侈品文化与故事，原来就是这样一个故事？好吧，这样的故事并不会让人对品牌有任何好感，弱化了设计的品牌满溢着狗血文化。
爱得轰烈，爱得深沉，在装作分不清爱的年纪里遇见爱情，不能称为错，只是要面对的太多，心里承载地太多。自我浪漫或许是爱情里最可怕的事情，在看似不顾一切的情感里退缩和失掉勇敢。当我还沉浸在温暖且适合所有人的结局时，猛然发现，原来是你小小的不勇敢，让她选择了躲避。她肯定是痛苦的，家事感情事，从来都会有很多被世俗事牵绊的人。在追求和现实之间，现在真的看到大多数人确实会选择现实。在现实的年纪，做着有追求的梦。
原以为是烧脑商战+家族狗血 没想到拍出来是一出类型杂糅的流水账
狗血 本以为会是女性励志 结果就是走马观花发疯一场/司机个人时装秀/看起来十分痛苦的床戏
这情绪跳来跳去的，开始还装装是正剧，后面全员喜剧人，表演课随便演，Lady Gaga 可以去演喜剧，不要尝试啥影后之类的。这歌单，感觉是抄我的。
20211130-cinemark thertre-也许是传记（？）的缘故是一部前半部分还算紧凑后半部分节奏基本消失且起承转合缺了一块总觉得有点不完全的感觉。不了解gucci家族故事的人看着会觉得有点莫名其妙。
就电影而言，导演能量就有点过弱了。演员的能量也不强，总之片子get不到人啊。对不住了。
拍的还是好看。一家子的傲慢与贪婪，最后落得这样的下场。gaga演的还不错，演出了意大利女人的彪悍。
除了几位主演的演技以外，整体都挺平庸的，像是流水账，到了最后也没有高潮，对于这样吸人眼球的案件的描绘，缺少必要的力度，似乎是草草了事。因爱生情也会因爱生恨，爱来的也快去得也快，终究是敌不过人性的，现实中又何尝不是如此呢？人啊还是要看开一些，能相信的真的只有自己罢了。
