    Bridget Jones: Mad About the Boy

    ★★★

    What a rollercoaster! Thought this was really quite fun and definitely got me teary eyed a few times!

    I was excited to see this because it's the end of such an iconic British film era, and it did have a few bright moments that reflected what made the original films such essential British viewing.

    I really enjoyed how it started off as a weird cult thriller and then morphed into a really quite nuanced conversation about the relationship between fame, financial capital, the power of nostalgia, and morality. The 'levelists' were diverse and convincing as a collection of people who are so committed to an ideal…
