    ★★★★

    My first Theo Angelopoulos film and what an introduction. Eternity and a Day is a serene, meditative movie about life, death, fulfilment and so much more. In fact I can positively say so much flew by me and I may have only taken away the clearer observations. 

    While being extremely slow, with very long shots, you never doubted that what you were seeing was important. Trips into memories, conversations with seemingly random people. I look forward to watching some analysis on…

    ★★★½

    Very easy and enjoyable watch. The magic of Frances Ha hinges a lot on Greta Gerwig’s loveable character. A positive, quirky 27 year old trying to make her way through life. 

    Nice score and the black and white photography helps to give that nostalgic feeling. Arguably lacking plot wise I wasn’t clock watching at all and it just ended I was so surprised. However, it probably got everything out that it wanted to and have to appreciate just how concise and easy this is to watch, that I’ll probably watch this again soon.
