  A Real Pain 2024

  ★★★★ Watched 09 Mar 2025

  Some try to block out pain and numb ourselves. 
  Some lash out at it and around ourselves. 
  But perhaps we must accept its presence in order to live unafraid of its visits.

  You Have No Idea How Much I Love You 2016

  ★★★★ Watched 12 Jun 2017

  It was fascinating to observe how the therapist (Professor Bogdan de Barbara) skilfully navigated the sea of emotions and steered the sessions by listening, suggesting, reflecting, and questioning, with wisdom, sensitivity and focus.

  Sit down, really listen to everyone in the film, and get swept up in it all.

  Inspirational viewing.

  The Forest of the Lost Souls 2017

  ★½ Watched 12 Jun 2017 1

  This was billed as Arthouse meet Grindhouse in the Sydney Film Festival. I found it too vague to be Arthouse, and a bit weak even for a B-movie to be Grindhouse.

  In contrast, the Spanish short called "Behind" that screened before this was a solid horror. I'd give that a three out of five.
