A tonally near perfect film.
It's effectively a love story with family, community and cinema during a time of effective war.
Both tender, beautiful and fantastically shot.
It has a photographic quality that is reminiscent of a black and white version of Akihiko Okamura's work during the troubles.
It captures the innocent contradictions of opinions when you're a child.
while everyone in this film is basically at peak performance; the standouts are the young Jude Hill, Judi Dench and Ciaran…

Love Hurts 2025
So ....love hurts, it's a weird film as you might expect.
i'll be honest with you and broke the cardinal rule for a reviewer and looked at other reviews just before I saw this.
But having said that I think I have a different take on most opinions.
As a single guy i felt able to take the Valentines aspect with a pinch of salt.
Also this might be a deep cut but this film has huge "the big hit"…Translated from by

A Quiet Place: Day One 2024
Fantastic film, the writing and performances are far more powerful than they have any right to be, in the best possible way. This would be one of my favorite films of the year. Definitely in my top 10. Everyone should see this film. So much more than just a quiet place film.
