  looked like an extended John Lewis advert, and yeah it’s not really pushing any boundaries, but it got me in a couple of places 🥲 and the soundtrack was great too. Needed more weetabix tho

  The French Dispatch 2021

  ★★★★ Watched 22 Oct 2021

  Seriously loved all the jokes about journalism/publishing.
  The film is episodic, and some of these sections were fantastic but others didn't quite hit the mark.
  A worthy instalment within Wes Anderson's filmic universe.

  50/50 2011

  ★★★★½ Watched 10 Oct 2020

  I’d wanted to watch this film for a very long time but I’d always put it off because of the subject matter. I thought it would make me cry and I wasn’t wrong. 
  But despite the sad parts, this film was also life-affirming and perfectly executed. 
  I didn’t know how I could enjoy a film about cancer but I loved every minute of it. It was funny and touching and sensitively handled, all whilst avoiding cliche. 
  Bravo
