    no sequel will ever be as brilliant as the first but this dirty bitch gave it a red hot go!! anyway, we came, we saw, we sobbed A LOT and i am going to need a very long grace period to deal with my feelings about darcy. thank you to cameron for holding my hand through the black notes.
    lastly, welcome back to the most ICONIC reindeer sweater of all time!! you were missed xxx

  • Better Man

    Better Man

    ★★★★

    Not without it's flaws but this film is actually really good haha. "Actually" because musical biopics typically suck, but I think this one really benefits from Robbie Williams being not as big a star as Elvis, Freddie Mercury or Elton John, for example. The story doesn't have to work so hard to "meet the moment" or match an outsized persona; a "legend" in the way the biopics for those other artists have to, because - frankly - Robbie Williams isn't…

    ★★★★½

    The people who knew you when you were a kid will always hold a particular power over you. At that age, you have no pretenses, no self-awareness, no desire or need to control how others perceive you (for better or worse), which in turn makes you vulnerable; defenseless. You’ll always in some way be that young kid who took the same uphill trek back home and topped the class in every test but one.

    Past Lives adds immigration and romance…
