Cold War 2018
“Let’s go to the other side. The view will be better there.”
Forever drawn to (and from) each other, Wiktor and Zula’s doomed love crosses, then falls over every obstacle put in front of it in heartbreaking fashion.
A film about sacrifice and ever-lasting love, with one of my favourite endings I’ve seen
5/5

Call Me by Your Name 2017
F**k. I cannot remeber the last time I was so disappointed by a film
I implore anyone, anyone who even remotely enjoys CMBYN, to read the book, as it is levels above the film.
The beauty of the book stems from Elios internal monologue, which easily takes up a a third if not half of the book; the raw, tender, poetic, emotion which is shown through it, Is completely lost in the film
Although the film try’s to capture this…

sex, lies, and videotape 1989
Kind of an unbelievable Palme D'or, don't know how I'd not heard of it before. A debut film that realy feels like it, in the best ways possible.

I love how boyhood captures difficulties and joys of life in a coming of age of not just Mason Jr, but also of his Mum and Dad, mum's partners, Sister... probably the best all round coming of age film out there for this very aspect (no doubt aided by it being filmed over 12 years)
A great watch very close to a 5*

(500) Days of Summer 2009
“Robins better than the girl of my dreams… she’s real”
90% of the discourse I’ve seen on (500) Days of Summer is a war on characters and genders. Either Tom is a selfish entitled ‘nice guy’ or Summer is a ‘bitch.’ For me, neither of these are accurate.
For me this movie is about romanticism and the failings of men to understand women. Toms quote that “It's these greeting cards, these movies, these pop songs. They're responsible for all the…
