    Y’all know how partial I am to a SB film but I really struggled with this? Mikey is just relentlessly nasty and exploits everyone he meets. I found the grooming element just so hard to sit through. I guess maybe that’s the point but with SB films there is usually some give with how likeable the main characters are. I also think I found the Trump stuff maybe too on the nose. 

    Aesthetically it was beautiful as per and some characters I did love - Leondria ❤️ and Strawberry, who really deserved more

    how the hell do we get 400,000 people on rent strike again? 

    Beautiful documentary with a wonderful panel and Q+A with Dr Fiadh Tubridy afterward for a Living Rent / CATU collab. We have so much to learn from Irish tenants history

    Marianne Jean Baptiste blew me away! As did the whole cast tbh.

    Extremely raw & tender - prepare for tears of sadness & laughter within seconds of each other (both on the part of the characters and the viewer)! 

    Mike Leigh also live-streamed from home to a Glasgow audience for a Q&A. What a treat - loved hearing more about the parcitpatory and collective approach he takes to filmmaking; the agency handed to the actors in shaping both the character and the plot as it unfolds in rehearsals. What a Don!
