Never Think Twice
Review by Gordon Wray.

There’s no one quite like Andy Oldfield. Musician, actor, craftsman, promoter, impresario, the list goes on.
It was no surprise to me then, when I heard he was making a movie. I’d heard murmurings in Wimborne that Andy was busy on one of his infamous projects and rather than dismiss these rumours as hearsay, because of who he is, I eagerly awaited the premiere.
I spoke to Andy last summer and he was aiming for a 2023 release so, yet again, he surprised me by posting that his movie was finished and had been passed by the British Film Institute as fit for general release. Never Think Twice was ready to go.
Sunday, December 4, saw Hollywood arrive in downtown Wimborne.

ACTION: Andy Oldfield addresses the Tivoli audience

The Tivoli Theatre was once again the centre of attention as it hosted the world premiere of Never Think Twice.
The trailer, posted online, had certainly worked wonders as the theatre was packed to capacity and the impatient audience were buzzing in anticipation.
The man himself appeared onstage. In typical self-effacing style, Andy thanked the cast crew and the locations he had used during the shoot with a special mention to the Tivoli itself. The lights dimmed.
Words  alone are unable to describe the plot!
Think Pulp Fiction meets The Italian Job, throw in some Texas Chainsaw Massacre, Angel Heart and Carry on Camping, and you’ll get the rough idea.
Hit men, international art thieves and a liberal smattering of femmes fatales made for an engaging yet somehow surreal narrative. In addition to the above movies Andy’ direction style was clearly influenced by  Hitchcock, Spielberg and Keith Lemon.
By the end of the film, the audience were clearly exhausted by the emotional rollercoaster but still managed a standing ovation.
This movie is destined for cult status along with the likes of Man Bites Dog, Belle de Jour and The Seventh Seal. If you get the chance to see it, don’t think twice!
