"It's a retelling, stylistically, characterologically, structurally, filmically," Curtis told BuzzFeed News on the set.

Our hotel – the filmically named Hotel Belvedere – looked not unlike some drunk captain had crashed a luxury cruise-liner into the side of a mountain forty years ago and abandoned it.

Like his "exuberantly cerebral, filmically deconstructionist" work in film and video, the performance defies easy categorization, located at an intersection of filmmaking, criticism, academia, performance art, and personal confession. And, like the original performance, Cockburn's multimedia presentation has been met with "much acclaim." Calum Marsh calls it "part scholarly monologue, part real-time essay film, and part solo theatre": > A bit like Spalding Gray with PowerPoint. All the Mistakes I've Made (Part > 2) is about the cinema, and it is smart and amusing.

That was the major liberty we took – the ending.

Skins Pure is a feature-length episode of the E4 television series Skins. Airing in two parts in 2013, Pure was the second of three feature-length episodes of a specially commissioned seventh series to bring the series to a close. While in its first six series Skins was a teen drama focusing on the life of Bristolian teenagers, Pure like previous episode Fire is a filmically and tonally distinct drama revisiting one of the show's characters as they adjust to adulthood. Pure focuses on the character of Cassie Ainsworth (Hannah Murray), a main character in the show's first two series.

In fact, according to the timeline given by Tolkien, Frodo and Sam had only reached the Black Gate at the time of the fall of Isengard. Jackson also argues that it was necessary for Faramir to be tempted by the Ring because in his films everyone else was tempted, and letting Faramir be immune would be inconsistent in the eyes of a film audience. Co-screenwriter Philippa Boyens and actor David Wenham defended the changes to Faramir's character in order to increase dramatic tension: Faramir's "sea-green incorruptible" nature in the book would not have "[translated] well filmically". Wenham (who had not read the book until after filming had commenced) also found Tolkien's original "dramatically dead".

Peter Davison has stated that this is his favourite serial from his three years on the series. He has said that he particularly enjoyed the script by veteran Doctor Who writer Robert Holmes and working with the director Graeme Harper, who he claimed brought "pace" and "energy" to the programme, as well as directing it "far more filmically than it had ever been done before." Christopher Gable, who played Sharaz Jek, was a well-known actor and formerly a leading ballet dancer. Gable was not the only contender to play Jek; John Nathan-Turner, who always favoured attracting big stars to the series in guest roles, had offered the role to the actor Tim Curry, as well as the rock stars Mick Jagger and David Bowie.

A subplot involving an extramarital affair between her and Briscoe is also left out of the film version. Kneale was particularly aggravated by the dropping from his original teleplay the notion that Carroon has absorbed not only the bodies but also the memories and the personalities of his two fellow astronauts. This change leads to the most significant difference between the two versions: in the television version, Quatermass makes a personal appeal to the last vestiges that remain of the three absorbed astronauts to make the creature commit suicide before it can spore, whereas in the film version Quatermass kills the creature by electrocution. Director Val Guest defended this change believing it was "filmically a better end to the story".

The Lexikon des Internationalen Films (Lexicon of International Film) wrote: "With Goldhelm, Jacques Becker has made the most stylistically clear and filmically convincing film about belle époque. The drawing of the shady milieu, the deeply human interpretation of the love relationship between Manda and Marie – that is fascinatingly dramatised and convinced not least by the excellent actors Simone Signoret and Serge Reggiani. Becker proves to be a master of character representation in mastering a poetic realism that only a few directors of this time succeeded in doing." Das große Personenlexikon des Films (The Great Lexicon of Film Persons) found: "His milieu portrait from the turn of the century, the clearly structured story about a gangster rivalry, is considered Becker's masterpiece".
