Nickel Boys 2024
POV this POV that, this is poetry and nothing anyone can say can make me think otherwise. Incredibly sad I didn’t watch this masterpiece in an empty provincial cinema (man sits on his arse eating an entire Malteaser Easter egg of an evening and throws the word masterpiece and poetry around without a hint of irony)

I'm Still Here 2024
Loved the first 45 minutes or so and thought I was gonna fall head over heels for this film but it slowly lost me. I sat behind a balding guy who smelled very strongly of soap, as the film went on and on (and it is just a bit too long) I couldn’t stop wondering whether he had a bar of soap in his pocket, a kind of comfort soap he takes with him wherever he goes for whenever life gets too much, too dirty and unpleasant.

Babygirl 2024
Average film infinitely improved by watching it sat behind an incredulous older woman from Hereford who commentated throughout the movie. Imagine a silver haired woman declaring Harris Dickinson is a ‘bloody dirty PIG’ in a broad West Country accent if you ever feel the need to watch this and it’ll improve your viewing experience immeasurably.

How to Make Millions Before Grandma Dies 2024
nice big cry after work with six of Hereford’s brightest and best residents, the usher looked like she was really having a good think about mortality as we left and who can blame her after watching that, a bit saccharine but who cares, it’ll take a colder man than me to call this sentimental guff
