    Anora

    ★★★★

    The plot about a stripper marrying a billionaire might sound cliché, but this movie suprised me in many ways! The dialogues were so funny and i LOVED the combination of Anora’s bad bitch energy but also seeing a sad side of her. At first i found the ending a bit strange, but the more i think about it, the more i realise how heartbreaking and pure this moment was. I can definitely understand why it won the oscars!

    Loved learning more about Bob Dylan and the impact of folk music during the sixties! This movie was a bit on the long side for me, but Thimothée’s acting, the music and cinematography were phenomenal!

    Small Things Like These

    ★★★½

    “If you want to get on in this world there are things you have to ignore.” 

    This line describes harsh realities of this dark piece of Irish history that I knew little to nothing about. Although I was hoping the plot would be a bit more about the experience of the girls in the Magdalene laundry houses and less about the personal trauma of an outsider, the film still told a lot without showing little. The film was slow and a little too evocative at times, but Cillian Murphy's acting and the cinematography were phenomenal!
