  We Live in Time 2024

  ★★★★½ Watched 05 Jan 2025

  This is just utterly fantastic.

  One of the best relationship films I’ve seen in a long long time. 
  You’d go through so much watching this- it is sad, really charming and romantic, very funny at times, heartbreaking, charming and tragic. Don’t remember a cinema experience were I have cried 3x. 
  It really shows the realities of falling in love and feels so authentic. 
  I really loved the way it was structured with flipping back and forth between different points in time. 
  You really don’t need me to tell you but Pugh and Garfield are utterly incredible in this. I would love to see it again.

  The Apprentice 2024

  ★★★★ Watched 14 Nov 2024

  A really entertaining 2 hour insight into the making of Trump. 

  Jeremy Strong and Sebastian Stan are absolutely incredible in this. Stan gets Trump’s mannerisms down to a T. It is done in a way that is not comical either which is really commendable. 
  One thing that did slightly annoy me was towards the end you feel sympathetic towards Cohen and, in reality, I think his character should have been portrayed as slightly more sinister but that isn’t an insult to Strong’s acting, more so the script. 
  In saying that, as biopics go, this was pretty thought provoking and worth a watch

  Clint Eastwood is 94??

  Juror #2 is a really thought provoking and tense court room drama that exceeded my expectations.

  Are You There God? It's Me, Margaret. 2023

  ★★★★ Watched 19 Jul 2024

  A lot to like about this funny coming of age film.
  Thought the supporting cast were great and the main child protagonist was fantastic. The film packs a lot in and the messaging throughout is subtle and it all ties together really nicely in the end. You could do a lot worse than sitting down and watching this on a Friday night!
