    Past Lives

    ★★★★½

    Unrequited love, missed opportunity, in-yun and the ordinary tragedy, or not, of loving only one person, in one world, in one life.

  • Poor Things

    Poor Things

    ★★★★½

    A strange, beguiling film, where something greater arises out of childhood abuse, trauma and tragedy. A movie of beautiful self creation, that looks gorgeous in its magical fiction and mad science.

  • Two Weeks Notice

    Two Weeks Notice

    ★★★★

    There is nothing original in this movie, no unexpected twists or deviations from the Rom-com script. Rich man falls for poor woman, small c conservative for big L liberal, man becomes a better man, and woman … ? There is no real depth to the characters, and the weight of characterisation is on the shoulders of the star personalities but … I love it. It’s like pulling on slipper socks, or eating shepherd’s pie, at the end, even on the worst of days, I cant help feel a little warmer, and there’s always a smile on my face.

    One Life

    ★★★★★

    A beautiful watch. A hard watch. ‘You have a lot of faith in ordinary people.’ ‘I’m an ordinary person.’ A sobering watch that reminds you, extraordinary deeds are achieved by ordinary people … and with that reminder asks … what have you done ?
