  Black Bag 2025

  ★★★½ Watched 17 Mar 2025 2

  Good movie with sexy people that has a more interesting conclusion than I initially thought. Cate Blanchett is soooo stunning and cool and great here, and this role for Michael Fassbender is in the same vein as The Killer where he is good at his job but also strange and off-putting which I think really suits him.

  Portrait of a Lady on Fire 2019

  ★★★★★ Rewatched 11 Mar 2025

  Undisputed masterpiece. This is a movie that perfectly portrays longing, yearning, loving and losing, but I also love how it portrays women in general. The care they both show Sophie, the gathering at the festival, the scenes with Marianne and her students. It really highlights to me how few movies are this centred around women and only women.

  Watching it in a cinema really heightened the experience of an already perfect movie, because you really become so aware of how quiet it is. Everyone is trying to be as still and quiet as possible to let the movie have its full impact.

  Thelma & Louise 1991

  ★★★★ Watched 13 Feb 2025

  I LOVE THEM!! WOMEN! WOMEN DOING CRIME!

  So fun to watch at a crowded screening. Everyone was having such a good time. I kinda knew what to expect but it was better than expected.

  Love Lies Bleeding 2024

  ★★★★ Watched 18 Mar 2024 1

  Queer, sexy, funny, bloody, slightly surreal and surprisingly (?) tender. 

  I had so much fun watching this. Perfect casting all around. I feel like the surreal moments in this might be hit or miss for some but for me it really elevated the whole thing. 

  I’m going to be so smug about seeing this at BFI flare festival bc it doesn’t premiere in the UK until May. Everyone go see it when it does!
