    Bridget Jones: Mad About the Boy

    ★★★½

    I was informed I could skip two and three, so straight on to four!

    Surprising amount of tear jerking in this romcom; the random snippets of Colin Firth’s Mark Darcy worked pretty well. The movie is actually a pretty decent exploration of grief and moving on from a loss.

    The rest of it, particularly the stuff around Bridget Jones dating a guy 20 something years her junior, I was less into, but it’s overall fairly harmless.

    Mickey 17

    ★★★★

    A solid outing from director Bong Joon Ho, Mickey 17 explores the commodification of human life and newer, even lower layers to our already depressing capitalist social strata.

    The world and design of the film is excellent, everything has been considered a great deal and the world seems lived in and plausible. I liked the detail of every calorie being accounted for on the long journey.

    Robert Pattinson is great as Mickey Barnes, who signs up to be an “expendable”…
