  The Penguin Lessons 2024

  ★★★½ Watched 15 Mar 2025

  What a lovely film. One that could easily become a comfort film for many, I feel.

  Had the pleasure of watching this with my good buddy Matt at the Manchester Film Festival.

  Conclave 2024

  ★★★★ Watched 30 Nov 2024 1

  Came into this completely blind, and was very very pleasantly surprised.

  Ralph Fiennes never ever fails to deliver.

  The Tooch and Lithgow were pretty good, but Lucian Msamati and Carlos Diehz were stand-out.

  I’ve been informed Diehz started acting in 2020 - WHAAAAT! *researches acting schools*.

  Easily the best ending there will be to a film in 2024.

  Also, I know shit all about colour palettes/grading/contrast/schemes but the reds and whites were so sharp and vivid; I loved it.

  Paddleton 2019

  ★★★★ Watched 17 Mar 2025

  This was too beautiful. 

  Show everyone you love just how much you love them.

  Never be stuck on the ‘what if’. 

  Send that text, make that call or go and see them. 

  This film joins an embarrassingly short list of films that made me cry but I went; I really did. 

  8.3/10
