    To be rich and sailing round Europe 
    felt bad for Marge and Peter and NOBODY else. 
    Cate Blanchett is so beautiful and brilliant in this, any time she was on screen i genuinely forgot the commotion happening in the plot

    “Didn’t your grandma just die? She aint even in the ground yet” 

    This is so chaotic and just pure fun. A real comedy feel with great chemistry and some amazing acting chops. The credit score scene is one of the funniest bits i’ve seen ever. Immediate hood classic.

    Sorry to Bother You

    ★★★½

    Recommended to me by the biggest film buff I know and for good reason. So whimsical in its approach, yet so aggressively political, in your face and unwavering. A fun watch that has continued to hold its own in my mind. My ‘white voice’ has seemingly been a bit quiet since this dropped. Its wild to laugh and then absolutely relate and want to cry at such great speeds. THAT FUCKEN ‘YOURE BLACK SO YOU MUST KNOW HOW TO RAP’ SCENE WAS TOOOO CLOSE TO HOME AND UNCALLED FOR. Will be watching again very soon.

    Rewatching this short film I am reminded not only of its flaws but the importance of those flaws. Much of the film is the white director refusing to engage with Baldwin, to embrace the idea that he is ignorant and listen. He refuses to swim in uncharted territory , holding on tightly to his idea of a story, a story he hasn’t got the skin to understand. He represents the very problem that James Baldwin attempts to shed a light…
