  National Theatre Live: The Importance of Being Earnest 2025

  ★★½ Watched 23 Feb 2025

  Slapstick classic. Cast slayed. Storyline was just a bit slow.

  It was alright, good respite from the family chaos. Elfeba's war cry? Slapped.

  Conclave 2024

  ★★★★ Watched 17 Dec 2024

  Clever film, cleverly built up to a clever ending. The twist didn't need to happen to make this film brilliant. What I took most were the moments of surprise and shock in remembering this was a depiction of current day. The Nespresso machine, the vape hit - clever. Angering. Hit the mark, provoked as it should.

  We Live in Time 2024

  ★★★★★ Watched 09 Jan 2025

  Best film of the year. Call me a hopeless romantic, because I am. Tell me it's unrealistic, that they're pushing too hard for Andrew Garfield to be the emotional man, that they're pushing too hard for Florence Pugh to be the matriarchal woman. I'll wholeheartedly disagree. It felt naturally depicted and vivid enough to be possible. Completely removed me from time, ironically. I sunk into my seat and had no idea of it passing. I'm so in loooove and love stories but harder because of it, how lucky.
