I highly approve of big hair being back in some rarefied circles
Such as:
Celeste Dalla Porta in Parthenope
Emily Bader in My Lady Jane
They also both look like Sloane from Ferris Bueller, which definitely helps

I find Joe Wright so baffling as a director
How can one man make P&P, Atonement, Cyrano, Anna Karenina
And also make Darkest Hour, Woman in the Window and Mussolini???
I tried 30 mins of Mussolini last night because I love Luca Marinelli and it's completely unwatchable 🙃

Black Actresses Are Carrying One Battle After Another
Teyana Taylor, Chase Infiniti, and Regina Hall propel the film’s most conflicted ideas, for better and worse.

It's only just occurred to me that Buckley and Mescal will be doing my accent in Hamnet (I'm from Warwickshire, where Shakes is from)
This should be interesting *rubs hands together*

If Nuremberg is being described as "powerful" anywhere, it's entirely because of the stolen valour of including a large section of George Stevens' short documentary film Nazi Concentration Camps.
Just watch that instead!

Well there was no way I was NOT watching a film about Nuremberg, even though I suspected it would be bad. By far the most powerful and effective segment is George Stevens' short documentary film Nazi ...

After 16 solid weeks of school, my kids finally get a week-long break from today 😅
This has been hard to get used to after the UK, where the kids get a break every 6-8 weeks.

So I watched After the Hunt and I think it's unfortunate that it came out in the same year as the far superior Sorry Baby (similar subject matter and setting)
I do think Garfield was well cast as a convincing, manspreading sex pest. Indian restaurant scene prob the most memorable of the entire film
