Yes it was originally named Ironbark, which a lot of us prefer!
Whatever, it looks a really good movie and I can't wait to see it.

Ah, yes, right! Ironbark! I knew I'd remember the old title as soon as I saw it again. Oh, well, they have their reasons for deciding on those changes. I don't have strong feelings about either one at this point.

I miss going to the cinema, too, sometimes, though perhaps not as much as seeing live theatre. But you're right, it's good to still be able to watch things in other ways! But as a result, if it's not on a streaming service I already have, I've mostly been seeing movies from previous years instead of watching new ones. I keep up with reading reviews, but don't always get to watching things, even ifI want to. There's so many TV shows to watch, it's easy to get distracted or just plain forget about certain titles.

I'm sure one day we will be able to go to cinemas again (though in the UK and here in Canada I think it will probably take a long time before we can). After every previous pandemic, people have been going to theatres, so I'm sure this time will not be an exception. Though in some ways it's hard to imagine, I'm hopeful.

To stay off topic for a moment and can't we?!
It's a Sin is fab...
Oh no, I knew nothing about Wynne either...
so thanks for posting this.

Well dunno when I will get to see it, so spoilers not a problem for me and yes...
my thoughts exactly on the last point!

There might be some cinemas open in some places, but I think for most people the only option will be video on demand, like it has been for a lot of movies.

That's cool that the real person in the movie was on To Tell the Truth!

Don't know when I'll get to see this, but sorry, the last part of your report made me laugh.
I should point out that I know nothing about the making of this film...in fact, isn't it British?
Anyhow, Mum used to say that all American films/TV shows are filmed in the dark and all the cast whisper!

I find subtitle distracting in all the scenes where I don't need them. I don't know if it was just the mixing or what, but the quiet scenes were really quiet and then the rest of the scenes were loud. I've had some experience with other films being very quiet, but this seemed a bit more so than some others I've watched lately.

I'm sorry that this discussion has distracted from the discussion of the rest of the movie!

My fault too!  I haven't seen it yet, so don't have anything to add. It seems to be getting good reviews.

I watched this last night. While I liked it and thought it was good, I didn't love it. Benedict was great (though I didn't know that we would be seeing him naked in this, so just be warned!) and there were some exciting scenes, but there were a couple points where I think I had a bit of trouble understanding why things were happening the way they were. 
I thought the actor playing the Russian, "Ironbark," was good, but he tended to speak very quietly (even in the scenes where other characters were not speaking very quietly), so I had to pump up the volume to hear some of the scenes properly. A few times I had to go back and listen again. In general, the quiet scnes were really quiet compared to the rest, which I found kind of frustrating. I don't know if anyone else will have this frustration, but it might have affected my enjoyment a bit.

Actually, seeing Benedict naked is an additional incentive for me and I really hope that I will get to see it in Germany. No hope for open cinemas so far so I probably have to wait for the DVD. There is video on demand but just for the US. 
As for the speaking - same in Germany. I sometimes watch German films with subtitles because either the music is too loud or the actors are mumbling their lines. No idea why they do not their best to make people understand them. Of course this may be part of the characterisation but not always. I remember my despair when watching "Stuart - A Life Backwards" trying to understand Tom Hardy with no subtitles available.
