Mad about cinema. Loves lists almost as much as films so Letterboxd is just the ticket!

Anyone But You 2023
I watched this in a moment of weakness and was immediately punished. Anyone But You reinforces everything I hate about rom-coms. Not even the combined beauty and charm of Sydney Sweeney and Glen Powell could save this painfully cheesy, unfunny excuse of a movie. Please just let it end here!

Abang Adik 2023
As poignant as Kore-eda Hirokazu's noir-tinged dramas, Abang Adik's humane storytelling about a pair of undocumented orphans on the run from the law hits hard. Not a dry eye in the house!

The Persian Version 2023
As a daddy's girl with mommy issues, this film wrecked me! The Persian Version will make you LOL and ugly cry in equal measure. This colourful family saga's GOT JOKES but it also unpacks the culture clashes and generational rift between a mother and a daughter with care and intelligence. Must bring tissue if you've got an issue!

The Holdovers 2023
The retro aesthetics, a touching story about school misfits forming unlikely friendships, Christmas, Paul Giamatti yelling - it's all so nostalgic!!
The most brilliant thing about Alexander Payne's feel-good film is this powerful message delivered by its flawed yet endearing characters: Nobody's perfect and that's OK. In fact, you can thrive and emerge stronger not in spite of your failings but because of it. A worthy addition to the catalogue of uplifting holiday films!
