  Good Luck to You, Leo Grande 2022

  ★★★½ Watched 01 Apr 2023

  A charming, witty movie. The conflict escalated subtly, just when I thought it was getting repetitive it took a turn. It was needed, uncomfortable to watch but done very well. I do think the scene in the hotel cafe was a bit on the nose for me.

  For the most part, my eyes were glued to the screen. Emma Thompson and Daryl McCormack bounce of each other really well, that combined with the simplicity of the cinematography made the movie intense.

  2001: A Space Odyssey 1968

  I saw this and straight afterwards accidentally fell asleep for three hours in the middle of the day. Maybe it was all that passive aggressiveness in HAL’s voice…?
