    The Holdovers

    ★★★★½

    Bottles every weird feeling about family and festivities with a perfect amount of bite. Every single performance is perfect.

  • The Hunger Games: Mockingjay – Part 1

    The Hunger Games: Mockingjay – Part 1

    ★★★

    Definitely the most harrowing one - you do miss the games, in all their extremes, but most of all you miss Peeta. Inevitable but there’s just no light or love at all in this one. Too many roses!!!

  • Maestro

    Maestro

    ★★★★

    So many moments of skin-tingling emotion and colour, the music is breathtaking. The mess is kind of its lifeblood. I don’t think I’ll ever forget how Ely made me feel. I miss playing the piano 🥲

  • The Hunger Games: Catching Fire

    The Hunger Games: Catching Fire

    ★★★★

    How in the world did I handle this suspense at 17 – also this is so dark? I am exhausted now? What are we doing to teenagers? We are all so brave?

    The Hunger Games

    ★★★★

    we really had it all

  • The Hunger Games: The Ballad of Songbirds & Snakes

    The Hunger Games: The Ballad of Songbirds & Snakes

    ★★★

    Already forgotten all of it but Tom Blyth you will always be famous

  • All of Us Strangers

    All of Us Strangers

    ★★★★½

    These poor, poor boys. A desperate urge to hug them all and for someone to hug me too. So much unsaid but all felt, whew boy.

  • Heat

    ★★★★★

    Ridiculous!

  • Napoleon

    Napoleon

    ★★★½

    Strange little man but good big film — those battles (blood! ice!) are astonishing but it’s all the world-ending tension and friction with Josephine that fuels this. Can’t imagine anyone but Phoenix playing the man but Vanessa Kirby could set the whole world on fire

  • Broadcast News

    Broadcast News

    ★★★★½

    There would be no Fleabag without Jane Craig and no me for that matter

  • Albert Brooks: Defending My Life

    Albert Brooks: Defending My Life

    ★★★★

    “If there was an easy road, I’d have a house on it.”

    If My Dinner with Andre was about the funniest guy you’d ever met and it was set in the restaurant of dreams. Literally nothing the man hasn’t done, his name is the only thing my dad would also probably let me get a tattoo of. He’d probably make us watch this next Yom Kippur too. It would definitely count.

  • Josie and the Pussycats

    Josie and the Pussycats

    ★★★★

    So good, so fun, imagine how different my life would have been if someone shoved this in my face when I was a One Direction stan who gave up on guitar lessons. Bring back bloopers this good, movies this great!
