  Fair play to Bong Joon-ho for making what feels like a pretty massive blockbuster still weird and slightly off-kilter. Not quite the highs of Parasite, Snowpiercer or Memories of Murder, but I had a fun time!

  Vox Lux 2018

  ★★★★ Watched 18 Mar 2025

  A captivating and very thoughtful exploration of child stardom, tragedy and trauma. It’s an odd film but it works! Raffey Cassidy, Stacy Martin and Natalie Portman are all fantastic.

  The “succulent breakfast” had to be a reference to the “succulent chinese meal” guy, surely?!

  The Substance 2024

  ★★★★½ Watched 25 Sep 2024

  Honestly very very funny and very very gross - kinda loved it and all the extremities! The Picture of Dorian Gray meets The Fly, in Hollywood.

  Also Dennis Quaid must have had whiplash going between Reagan and this?
