    Sometimes you just want a cute middle aged cat getting ticketed by traffic cops, fart jokes and forest spirits.

    I wanna understand how this came to be, because if it was part of a planned relaunch it was a spectacular misfire.

    Best bit was the young women in the hotel room the night before a show chatting amongst themselves. The rest just delusional people wondering why barely anyone is bothered about the dead horse they keep flogging, helped along by some editing choices.
    I feel for Aurora. Fodder for the competition and the documentary simultaneously. Hope she's off living…

    This film is even better than I remember. Toni Collette is everything. Everyone needs a Rhonda.

    Goodbye Porpoise Spit ❤️

    This is what happens when I'm in a Premier Inn for work and resent paying extra for functional WiFi for streaming.
    I am definitely not target audience so it feels a bit unfair to rate this low.
    Looking forward to watching Conclave and imagining it as a development of/precursor to Tucci and Fiennes' relationship here.
