as someone whose interest and research into film culture revolves around the act of interpretation and discussion, i adored this! as incredibly personal as it is innovatively self-reflexive, it is an exploration of the film form itself as much as an examination of the diverse memories and recollections of human stories, characters and realities we live with and through; those precious things that constitute our inspiration and creative output. so brilliant, much recommended!

Wallace & Gromit: Vengeance Most Fowl 2024
frenzied hyperactivity, benefits from instruction yet skeptical of authority, motivated by clean environments, surprising joint mobility, occasionally does little jigs, sings whilst completing tasks, too short to see out of windscreen when driving, requires frequent recharging, has grumpy and mildly annoying emotional settings but ultimately means well? this gnome is not alone
