Bit of a slow film week for me (I might have restarted a Fallout 4 campaign 👀) BUT this week I finally got to see ‘Sorry, Baby’. It has shot straight to the top of my trauma representation in film list. It was real, messy, heartbreaking and funny (AND not fucking exploitative!! 🥹) #LetterboxdFriday

In the wake of the disturbing racist, Islamophobic and anti-migrant demonstrations and violence which took place on Saturday, we stand in solidarity with everyone affected. It’s just over a year since the racist riots of last summer, and racist aggression and hostility has been growing since.
