    The Souvenir: Part II

    Finally got round to watching this. I quite liked the first film but maybe today I'm just not in the mood to deal with posh people because this was an absolute pile of wank.
    To me.

    I thought that Powell & Pressburger finale was going to finish the film on a high note but it just felt so hollow, as did all the self-reflexivity

    another 2022 film it's taken me way too long to get to. Fantastic central performances, some big swings and no misses. Great pacing. And I love a sinister meet cute!!

    ★★★

    love seeing experimental horror even if it doesn't always land. the sense of oneiric, childlike nostalgia was captured well but the concept is stretched too thin over the run time

    that PG rating is doing a lot of work (in ruining what could've been a fun and outrageous film)

  • The Souvenir

    The Souvenir

    Still in awe of Joanna Hogg's ability to bring the audience in and then completely push them away, emotionally. But also how she strikes a balance between the two.

  • Bodies Bodies Bodies

    Bodies Bodies Bodies

    ★★★★

    FINALLY got round to watching this. Best slasher comedy since Scream, personally!

  • Lady Chatterley's Lover

    Lady Chatterley's Lover

    ★★★½

    I was really quite taken with this adaptation. Laure de Clermont-Tonnerre has an incredible approach to sensuality and Emma Corrin and Jack O'Connell are remarkable. Chemistry for days.

    Falling for Christmas

    God that was awful. Thankfully Lindsay Lohan can still charm her way out of a paper bag. Or out of an unlikeable Christmas rom-com that seems like it was made by a Hallmark AI generator

  • Spencer

    Spencer

    works terribly as a biopic but brilliantly as a gothic

  • The Green Knight

    The Green Knight

    was alicia vikander doing a yorkshire accent? it was completely enthralling. she sounded drunk. she sounded like a swedish person doing a sean bean impression. her saying "I'll be yer lehdeh" was high camp.

  • Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings

    Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings

    ★★★½

    Ben Kingsley's Liverpudlian accent was almost as distracting as the product placement
