  All About My Mother 1999

  ★★★½ Watched 28 Aug 2024

  I was at first embarrassed that I didn’t understand what point this film is trying to make or what it’s actually about, so I read some reviews and essays and they didn’t actually mention much I hadn’t already thought of myself. I still don’t think it makes any sense, so turns out that the film is stupid, not me. 

  Probably why men should not attempt to make art about what it is to be a woman.

  The End We Start From 2023

  ★★ Watched 23 Jun 2024

  Realistic for its genre I suppose, but depressing as hell and not what I signed up for. Did we need a post-apocalypse-type film in 2024?

  Sleepless in Seattle 1993

  ★★★ Watched 25 Aug 2024

  Apparently moving to Seattle wasnt enough to get everyone to leave Tom Hanks’s character alone. He and his son needed a grief counsellor, not a replacement wife and mother.

  Thought I could rely on Nora for a charming Sunday afternoon romance. Came away quite disturbed.
