    Incroyable.

    All our choices were made to reflect and confront us in the present — not to say, “Look what they did then,” rather, “Look what we do now.”

    Jonathan Glazer

    We’re all fully aware of the horrors in the world and yet we carry on in blissful ignorance. I don’t see it as just being about the obvious parallel (to the atrocities being committed against the Palestinian people) but also about society as a whole. 

    It’s hyperbole to suggest…

    The closest I’ve ever cum to watching gay porn with my girlfriend

    Have been a fan of this director for a while now and here he reunites the pairing he worked with in In Bruges to great effect. Both Gleeson and Farrell are excellent as expected but Kerry Condon and Barry Keoghan round out the main cast in exemplary fashion.

    It's an extremely well written and dense movie with far too much subtext to understand on a single viewing. Cannot wait to see it again once it gets released on streaming and hope it gets the credit it deserves come reward season
