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.

Jess提名边缘想必也和这片子质量有很大关系 老实说是真的不怎么好看 基本就看Jess在演了/嘻嘻 虽然水片子但是Jess拿影后毫无争议 哪些路人甲总在说之前演得好哦 之前演得确实好但也不见你们给颁个奖哦孝鼠
这两个主演让人觉得很不适，神经兮兮的。看不下去。
对于这个人物不是很了解，单纯剧情来说可能稍显无聊，但是不得不承认加菲还能看出影子，劳模我是瞅了半天没看出来，而且她最后的演出那一段我很喜欢
因杰西卡·查斯坦凭借《塔米·菲的眼睛》提名第94届奥斯卡奖最佳女主角而来观影，看到凭借《倒数时刻》提名第94届奥斯卡奖最佳男主角的安德鲁·加菲尔德也出演了本片惊喜一下，可惜电影的故事内容不是我的菜。
传记片想拍出花样真的越来越难了，片子拍的挺不错，但是就是太四平八稳了，平到不管劳模姐怎么抹眼泪，硬是直到最后心里才起了一点感情波澜。片子最大的问题就是缺少了对Tammy性格的细节描写，就用一句i love everybody草草带过了，所以有点到最后人物都没法很好的立起来。当然劳模姐演的很努力了，化妆努力口音努力动作神态也努力。
一个以上帝之名敛财的故事，但与其说这两口是处心积虑的骗子不如说是激情旺盛的演员，隔着媒介，传教者和受众，塔米和吉姆，相互恩惠和欺骗，每个人都是这场横跨几十年的闹剧的演员。劳模姐的表演堪称震撼，很多时候在妆容和入戏之下你会忘掉这是劳模姐，从话音到神态她都完全变了一个人，小金人已经在快递中。
关键就是Jessica Chastain和Andrew Garfield的表演太精彩了，把电影前半段的作都给淡化了，另外影片后半段对前半段的作能够很好的自圆其说，也是很好的。豆瓣6.6给低了。
20220327le。名人传记片，影星冲奥专用。好莱坞的化妆真是厉害。3.5
静静观赏劳模姐和加菲的片子，在厚重的妆容下依旧闪亮的演技，歌声也很吸引人。但是在人物塑造上比较平庸，感觉没有要深挖她为何成败皆于一处，丈夫的同性倾向和她对边缘群体的支持也没有相关性的展现让人看起来有点疑窦丛生。与母亲关系的和解也是蛮突然的，总的来说就是剧本不太扎实。
无法忍受美国颁奖季特供人物传记片，演员顶着厚厚的虚假的妆，生怕别人看不到自己演技地用力表演(>﹏<)。劳模姐的表演做作得要命，无法喜欢（即使这个人物就是如此，按照这个平庸的流水账剧本，她也无法用模仿式的表演撑过整部戏，很多无法参照的地方就露怯了）。加菲也是油腻得要命。
颁奖季，查斯坦，传记片。捞出三个关键词之后本片就像是配方料理，颜色考究但口味寡淡。同样刻画政治保守的女性公众人物，美国夫人的恐怖反讽在塔米菲凝固成假面的厚重眼妆之下却只能捕捉零散破碎的泪光，孤行拥抱性少数群体和婚姻与传教的盲信与前者形成若即若离的回文。迷失在享受聚光的表演和献身宗教的虔诚两者界限，造神堕落又重拾歌声的信仰危机仿佛范霍文圣母的当代美国化身，自反和解读的空间却浅薄近无。回溯童年心理史学，双眼癫狂的明亮不仅受盔甲般的化妆加持，内心狂热和表演天赋才让她的布道魔法被太空神迹传播到千万家庭。观众信徒是否有分别？为祂代言的声音究竟该如何面对名利荣宠诱惑保持所谓清廉的纯洁？查斯坦为影后之路亲自制作，女性视角聚焦父权运作中强颜欢笑粉底的裂痕，她始终无法彻底拥有自己的福音，无论作为神婆还是圣母。
因为信仰太虔诚，导致人生的大起大落，挺有趣的传教片，劳模姐太强了
中规中矩的传记片，剧情工整地一步步推进，最终在结尾将影片推向高潮。劳模姐的演技加上易容术版的化妆，把角色塑造得活灵活现。看完不得不感叹，伪善的人坚持自己所做的一切是正义多么的可怕。
一流的化妆技术
看这部之前觉得今年的Oscar该给Nicole Kidman，看完之后觉得非Jessica Chastain莫属。在这部片中Chastain展示了夸张又自然的演技，加上年龄跨度，加上演唱，确实得奖的几率很大了。当然hair&make-up也很有竞争力，看到后面甚至忘了Chastain本来长什么样。电影对夫妻两人的塑造很成功，让人们看到他们很单纯很善良的一面，虽然做的很多事情不能说是明智或者道德。Tammy Faye这个角色的有趣之处很多，从成长环境到婚姻到对于同性恋者的态度等等，让人觉得可爱可亲又可怜。这个故事也并不只是给基督教徒拍的电影可共情的角度也不只在于信仰，还是一部很美国的、跟女性的电影。不过比起深度，它可能更加注重娱乐性，没有把这个争议事件更深入挖掘。
演员，表演，故事，各方面都挺OK的，居然才6.6？
蜘蛛侠和劳模姐的cp感很真实。marriage is a partnership. 非常stylistic的60年代时代片。
拍人物传记不容易，拍这种有争议的家喻户晓的人物传记更难。我个人很喜欢这部电影，毕竟不是身处其中的信徒你无法理解那段历史，抛开事件本身这个故事讲的很顺畅也有重点和起伏，不会让人觉得生硬和流水账模式。再说今年奥斯卡热门女主劳模姐查斯坦，演的太好了让我觉得就是真实的Tammy Faye，尤其是那种气声的傻笑和歪头的沉醉，都被劳模拿捏的死死的。还是有希望今年拿奥斯卡影后的吧。
