  La La Land 2016

  ★★★½ Rewatched 07 Jan 2025

  While it did kick off the insanely successful LLLCU (La La Land Cinematic Universe) it doesn't hold up as well on rewatch.

  The documentary makers do such an excellent job of portraying all the different personalities on the team that my favourite character switched every 5 minutes for the entire show.

  Michael Palin in North Korea 2018

  ★★★★★ Watched 01 Jan 2019

  I'm really glad this is on Letterboxd because oh my GOD I absolutely adore this film!

  Possibly the best film made last year?

  The most wholesome man on the planet takes a look at a country opening up on its own terms with a really fresh perspective. Instead of going all Vice or WaitButWhy on them, Michael Palin sees North Korea for the untapped pocket of quirky experiences that it is.

  Honestly made me think a lot and reinforced how enriching and positive going somewhere with an open mind can be.

  (It's on YouTube btw)
