Friday Family Film Night: BALLAD OF A SMALL PLAYER review

In which the Mister joins me in reviewing BALLAD OF A SMALL PLAYER (2025), from a screenplay by Roland Joffe, the film is directed by Edward Berger. Based on Lawrence Osbornel's novel, BALLAD OF A SMALL PLAYER follows "Lord Doyle" (an absolutely stunning performance by Colin Farrell), a high-stakes gambler in the neon-soaked underworld of Macau who is drowning in massive debt. His precarious existence is threatened when a relentless investigator from his past arrives to collect on his secrets, forcing him to seek a final, life-changing win at the baccarat tables to maintain his facade. Amidst the spiritual atmosphere of the Festival of the Hungry Ghosts, he forms an intense bond with a mysterious woman named Dao Ming (Fala Chen), who may be his last hope for redemption as the line between reality and the supernatural begins to blur. The film clocks in at 1 h and 41 m, is rated R and is currently streaming on Netflix. Please note there are SPOILERS in this review. #BalladOfASmallPlayer #LawrenceOsborne #RolandJoffe #EdwardBerger #ColinFarrell #LordDoyle #Reilly #FalaChen #DaoMing #DeanieIp #Grandma #TildaSwinton #Betty #Cynthia #AlanKChang #Kai #AlexJennings #Adrian @Netflix #FridayFamilyFilmNight Opening intro music: GOAT by Wayne Jones, courtesy of YouTube Audio Library
