What can I say? When it comes to a Greta Gerwig starring film, I may lose my mind a little as my opinion of this movie seems massively at odds with many of my Letterboxd chums and peers.
I guess I’m just a sucker for the whimsical style of this - which boasts a killer cast to play with the fairly standard plotting and script. Of course Gerwig rocks…

Anachronism + Feminism = A Good Time with a Movie
Krieps is great in this, managing to maintain a modicum of vulnerability alongside her fiery, frustrated behaviours. Seeing her giving the finger, being petulant with a doctor or just having molten chocolate poured into her eager mouth… perfection. Any film that allows the lead character to LITERALLY outgrow her surroundings, is a winner.
About the Challenge:
To mark International…
I didn’t expect this short to leave me feeling the way I did. I lost my father a few years ago and as he was dying I realised a lot about how much I meant to him, despite him never really showing it too much. A very specific sequence of events meant that we reconnected before he died and seeing the lead in this hugging her childhood toy hit hard.
Grief is weird but when a passing reveals a truth…
This could be a fantastic idea for an ongoing streaming series. Happenings around the world, associated with the Cloverfield events, all presented from new perspectives.
