  La La Land 2016

  ★★★★★ Rewatched 26 Jan 2025

  The more I watch this the more I love it…

  That full last sequence is just so perfect from start to finish, so much sorrowful emotion yet so much happiness all combined to create the prestigious ending this film built from the start.

  A compellingly beautiful film. Damien, you are incredible.

  A Real Pain 2024

  ★★★★½ Watched 11 Jan 2025

  The more I think about what I have just seen, the more it hurts.

  “my pain is unexceptional, so I don’t feel the need to burden everyone with it”
  
  A fantastic film that has some great comedy, combined with powerful sorrow and deepening depression. 

  Kieran Culkin was incredible, fully deserving of the awards.

  Well done, Jesse.

  Heretic 2024

  ★★★★ Watched 03 Nov 2024

  Hugh Mungo, you fucking creep.

  Phenomenal performances from the cast, but Hugh with his extensive dialogues were above all else. 

  Not the ‘Horror’ film some would have hoped for but the psychological aspect of the film will make you question things in your own life, I loved it.
