  Heretic 2024

  ★★★½ Watched 10 Nov 2024

  Worth watching, if only for Hugh Grant‘s magnificent portrayal of fiendish charm. Some of the plot was a little predictable, but the performances and pace were excellent.

  Wildcat 2023

  ★★★ Watched 19 Sep 2023

  Immensely complex biographical drama about American novelist Flannery O'Connor, with Maya Hawke giving a compelling performance. Laura Linney is utterly brilliant. The complexity stems from the fact that O’Connor’s short stories are interspersed with her struggle to write the novel while battling lupus. Bleak at times, and it is nonetheless an interesting portrayal of the creative process. Now I want to go and read some of O’Connor’s work and then re-watch the film.
