  Solid enough if disappointing (I have very high expectations when it comes to Bong).

  Robert Pattinson is super, sadly Mark Ruffalo and Toni Collette chew far too much scenery, and the initial premise gets a bit lost. It's baggy, and his usual social commentary feels very heavy handed.

  Still, better that 85% of everything else you will probably see this year.

  Rye Lane 2023

  ★★★★ Watched 03 Jan 2024

  What a gorgeous little gem of a film.

  A sort of Before Sunrise set in Peckham, Brixton and roundabout as two strangers both having suffered bad breakups meet-cute, walk, talk, and get to know each other.

  Easy to make this cheesy or schmaltzy, but it avoids that nicely.

  Top performances from the two leads David Jonsson and Vivian Oparah, more than passes the 6 laugh test, a fine soundtrack and one of the most "was that who I thought it was?" cameos in quite a while.

  Also, beautifully, 1hr 22min long...

  Poor Things 2023

  ★★★★★ Watched 18 Dec 2023 1

  It is everything you had hoped for and more.

  Weird, beautiful, unsettling, it's also bloody funny. Many, many times...

  I'd give it a sixth star out of five though because it is pretty much unlike any other film I have ever seen before.

  Sure it has been influenced by mashed up bits of other things you love (Gilliam, Burton, Lynch, Tod Browning's Freaks, Young Frankenstein, Doctor Moreau, dreams you had, maybe even a bit of Michel Gondry?), but it is…
