    Mickey 17

    ★★★

    There were more roadworks again 😔

    Regardless this movie was good but probably fell short of my expectations. Some fun concepts if a little frustrating at times with how much it feels the need to spell things out. I did enjoy how Mickey 18 was just Robert Pattinson doing a Jason Statham impression

  • The Last Showgirl

    The Last Showgirl

    ★★★½

    Now I’ll preface this by saying I only went to the cinema because there’s some loud roadworks outside (which are still going, the joys of city life). 

    That said this was a good film. Shelly is a tough watch, trapped in a state of arrested development really from when she first started performing. She’s not mature enough to be the guiding figure others look to her for. In her mind it’s still 1990 really and it shows in so many…

    Zidane: A 21st Century Portrait

    ★★★★½

    This was surprisingly good. Incredibly simple, a man goes to work, he walks in a park. It’s a perfectly normal day, except he’s Zizou. Wonderful insights into him and how he sees the game. So much happens on the periphery but that doesn’t matter, we are just watching Zidane doing his job on a day like any other. I got weirdly emotional but that’s probably thanks to the score.
