A Complete Unknown 2024
The suede jackets! The leather jackets! Joan’s legs! I’m in love with it all.

The Substance 2024
Never been so relieved a film was over - far outstayed its welcome. Pure body horror and gore and maximalism but felt a little like it was all shock factor and never interrogated its core ideas beyond the surface. The only part that felt somewhat earnest was Elizabeth’s inability to take herself on a date - otherwise I don’t think the film could decide if women’s bodies were the punchline or the rallying cry. And on reflection I’m not sure…

All of Us Strangers 2023
Very sad, especially when you’re hungover, and very intense. I cried! A lot! Don’t wanna be on the edge!
Edit: after my walk I’ve concluded this was really very good. Andrew Scott was heartbreaking. And the strange isolation of the tower block as a stage to set the drama was smart - a celestial eyrie where AS’s character is part of the city, but separate.
It was actually a very London film.
