Unfortunately, #TheFallOfTheKrays tried to shoehorn #FrancesShea’s suicide into the film (in real-life it was because of TOO MUCH attention from her husband, but in the film it’s because of TOO LITTLE attention). Only a sensitive film like #PeterMedak’s #TheKrays can properly depict that tragedy. Ⓐ

Saw #TheFallOfTheKrays - while a good gangster film, it’s not nearly as awesome as its predecessor #TheRiseOfTheKrays. This sequel has an overreliance on characters threatening to commit violence, and rarely doing so (which becomes tiring). And the film is WAY more slowpaced than its predecessor. Ⓐ
