    I Am Martin Parr

    ★★★

    Endearing and lush, if slight. I kind of wish it had something more to say other than 'wow Martin Parr is great'. Which is true, sure, but like, there's a more compelling story somewhere in there - the section on classism felt particularly underbaked which is such a shame. But hey, beautiful photos.

    Bonus points for all the shots of Martin wandering around with his stroller and it accidentally rolling away, I giggled every time.

    Minus points, in the extreme, for David fucking Walliams.

    Blue Velvet

    the delivery of "so, how did it go?" / "it went okay" got full belly laughs from the theatre which i enjoyed.

    slightly lacking at the emotional core but delightfully weird, tense, and surprisingly funny. truly proves that you can give lynch a dutch angle, a dream sequence, and a musical number and he'll be away. laura dern is fantastic !
