    The heavy-handedness of modern films is grating on me a little. Trump allegory aside I feel as if I have seen similar ideas expressed better in  episodes of Russel T Davis Doctor Who. Plot and characters were a bit of a let down. 

    Toni Colette shines as always. Pattersons jaw line could save me.

    Hard Truths

    ★★

    Please correct me if I am stupid and missing something but man this did not work for me. I could not have compassion for the protagonist, in fact she drove me nuts. I have crippling depression and nothing frustrates me more than people that act like their suffering is so much deeper than everyone else. She yells and service workers, is disgustingly rude to doctors. I understand that she’s sick but to me she is not redeemable. There is not plot. Sisters daughters are the only joy and respite.

    Melancholic and whimsical. I love 
    Pablo Larraín so much.
