  The Electric State 2025

  ★★ Watched 20 Mar 2025

  I really wanted to come on here and say this wasnt as bad as the kicking it's getting - but it's just not great is it. Shame.

  Adolescence 2025

  ★★★★½ Watched 16 Mar 2025

  Astonishingly well made television, the writing, the performances, and of course the camera work are all first class. The one-take thing immerses you into the story and builds tension with no let up.
  (Problem is, it's so good it's got folk insisting it should be used to educate parents and young boys? Calm down)

  A Complete Unknown 2024

  ★★★★ Watched 19 Jan 2025

  Really enjoyed this. Everyone will tell you Chalomet is great - and he is, never turning into a caricature - but I think the supporting cast are up there too, and it's their reactions to Dylan's songs which really make this work for me.
  Decent biopic, maybe lacked a little 'edge' but I had a good time.

  O Brother, Where Art Thou? 2000

  ★★★★★ Rewatched 10 Jan 2025

  If Nolan manages an interpretation of Odyssey half as good as, that would still be a pretty fine film.
  Coens at the peak of their powers? Tremendous film making.
