Letterboxd — Your life in film

Incels do the darndest things.

‘Are you abortion-minded?’

Might be the most bone-chilling line delivery of the year. Seriously, is there anything more frightening than a god-fearing, salt of the earth American? Doubtful.

To conclude: yes I support pro-lifers’ rights... pro-lifers’ rights to shut the fuck up!

Don’t think I’ve ever seen a film that so perfectly captures the feeling of being alone at Christmas. The untouched snow, the howling winds, the murderous psychopath camping out in the attic – it’s all here.

Hard to believe a film with such a callous disregard for its characters’ lives came from Canada. Even harder to believe is just how brilliant it is. Definitely putting it on next year and telling my parents it’s a Wonderful Life.

Nonsensical plot aside, red-white-and-blue barbie flying across Egypt on a ballistic missile to swoop down and rescue Arab kids just... doesn’t sit right with me. 

Same energy as Lindsay Lohan trying to ‘rescue’ those homeless kids from their parents in Russia (still shook).

'I really wanted something fun, something for the summertime. Something for the girls to get ready and party to.' – Lars Von Trier

I did the same thing once.

I have to admit, I was a little nervous going into this. Paddington 2 has an almost mythic level of hype surrounding it, and I’ve seen what happens when Sally Hawkins gets left alone in a room with an anthropomorphic CGI creature.

Fortunately, the film is just as wonderful as everyone says, and (spoiler alert) Sally does not fuck the bear. What more could you want?

Paddington’s living rent-free in a Primrose Hill townhouse and I’m supposed to stan? Fuck this.

Alma and Reynolds are two of the most endlessly compelling film characters of the 21st century, and their demented relationship is one for the books.

Watching them together is like watching a cloak-and-dagger game of chess – you’re never quite sure who has the upper hand, or what it is they even want from each other. Masterpiece.

My absolute worst nightmare is waking up one day in a world where everyone acts like they’re in a stage play. I’d literally self-combust at the first hint of a dramatic monologue (of which there are one too many in this film).

That being said, the star power of Viola Davis and Chadwick Boseman is undeniable, and I’d watch them duke it out in just about anything.

The Babadook, but the kid’s autistic for some reason. Did Sia direct this?
