Reading Festival will never be jollier than in the back-to-back blast of ‘I Will Wait’ and ‘Little Lion Man’, two songs that encapsulate the most loved and loathed sides of Mumford & Sons. Impassioned banjo-led brodowns are easy to diss on record. When it’s here, in the company of thousands, it’s impossible to resist. Ted Dwane - up there with Este Haim in the bass-face stakes (double bass-face?) - is having the time of his life, and it’s almost like third album ‘Wilder Mind’ never happened. Things are brought back down to earth with a thud. Nothing tops Mumfords’ most-loved in their Friday night headline set in terms of sentiment or enthusiasm - this time round, the banjos win.
Reviews
Did you people see the same film I saw?
It’s not bad or unwatchable but despite the amplitude of the spectacle, the end result is underwhelming.
The storyline feels a little thin and moth-eaten in parts but this sequel is plenty of fun.
what a terribly boring film. I'm sorry but this is absolutely not deserving of best picture and will be forgotten quickly. Entertaining and engaging cinema? No. Nothing performances with flat faces and mistaking silence for subtlety.
