    I'm Still Here

    ★★★★★

    I watched this after watching the Brutalist. Also 8 days ago. It was the second time I’ve been alone in the cinema in my life. The first time was when I was staying in London in 2019. I saw Late Night, starring Mindy Kaling and Emma Thompson.

    Rae and I got…

    A Complete Unknown

    ★★

    I went into the cinema exhausted, anxious, and totally uninterested in seeing a complete unknown. I have always been a bit bored by the idea of music biopics. I really love music, but I don’t care about the artist or their journey to fame. 

    That being said, I was surprised to find I got a lot of joy from complete unknown. It was relaxing and pleasant. I didn’t need to think or follow or feel stress. I just sat back…
