Emma Mackey as Ella McCay has to be the greatest case of "actor name resembling character name" since Annie Hall*.

I'm watching Boy Kills World and it's been quite some time since I've heard less intelligible dialogue.

Just gonna randomly recommend Tornado, which is on Amazon and I watched last night.
Low key banger! Looks fabulous, loads of personality, original and offbeat tone, excellent score.
Definitely the best Scottish samurai western I've seen in a while.

Will Smith and Will Self's biographies are both called Will.
Smith's book should have been called The Fresh Prints, while Self's book should have been Self Published.

31 - Our Song by Anna Carey
Really enjoyed this. A breezy read, very romantic, with evocative and authentic music chapters (both about writing it and playing live). I can 100% see this being turned into a film. (Josh O'Connor and Jessie Buckley, call your agents!)
