Holy fuck what a film! So funny & so many surprises - and it’s best to know as little as possible going in. Felt like watching Being John Malkovich for the first time. A must see.

Turning Red 2022
A charming new entry into Pixar’s impressive yet variable catalogue - and one that importantly doesn’t centre a white male experience while implying that this experience is universal. A coming of age story with a lot in there for everyone to relate to.

Ghostbusters: Afterlife 2021
I expected to like this one going in, and I wasn’t disappointed. Does a pretty good job of hitting many of the same notes as the original, without being a straight-up retread like (say) Rise of Skywalker. Perhaps a little heavy on the fanservice, and I’m not sure what it’d be like for someone who didn’t know & love the original - but if you do then then is a nicely judged follow up. My only criticism is that it feels like the stakes are undersold - the end feels a little rushed.
