    The Darjeeling Limited

    ★★★

    India's doing so much of the work here - a beautiful looking film. And that luggage set!

    ★★★

    More mandated post-Hackman death viewing. And yet another one that he dies in.

    This film is far too long but I really like Hackman's character - an incredible commitment to make him eulogise about smoking in every scene.

    Bridget Jones: Mad About the Boy

    ★★★★

    An unexpectedly devastating portrait of grief which carefully handles issues of death, magic and the afterlife. 

    For a franchise that's weaned us on big pants and blue soup, it was a handbrake tone turn but they managed it so beautifully. 

    Daniel Cleaver was phenomenal. A perfect relief for Bridget's grief, I love how his villainy and their friendship have matured.

    ★★

    He didn’t need to rim the bath plug hole, or smear himself in menstrual blood, or fuck the freshly dug grave, or hump the recently dead mother. Everything felt like it was trying so hard to be edgy, and like it was way more important than it was.
