  This was shot for $10m. That something that looks this amazing can cost that little should send chills down every investor in Hollywood

  Seen at the BFI Flare Festival.

  Started promising and slowly goes downhill. I like some of the ideas that it's trying to tackle, and there are some funny moments, but ultimately it is let down by subpar writing and one-note character arcs.

  Oh, and - during the Q&A afterwards, one of the audience members asked about the representation of bisexual characters in movies (yes, it sucks) and her motivations for choosing that. Perhaps it's the nerves of having just shown a movie premiere but the response seemed to show a shocking lack of understanding about bisexuality. Sigh.
