A REAL PAIN is terrific. Kieran Culkin deserves all the plaudits but I also thought Jesse Eisenberg was superb, especially in that amazing dinner scene

It didn't blow me away but I still enjoyed WE LIVE IN TIME. The birth scene alone is worth the price of admission

The best books I read in 2024

CONCLAVE is basically "The Traitors with priests" and I enjoyed it immensely

It's not a bad film, but all GLADIATOR II did was remind me of how special the first one is

If you like heartfelt, jangly indie pop then I can't recommend the new Queen of Jeans album enough. Fans of Alvvays and boygenius will love it open.spotify.com/track/3jq1eq...

WICKED was even better than I expected. Catchy songs and stellar performances from Cynthia Erivo & Ariana Grande. Can't wait for part two

Don't get the hype for that Bottoms film at all. Quite baffled by it, in fact

So I'll basically be living at the cinema for the next few weeks:
KILLERS OF THE FLOWER MOON
NYAD
FOE
THE ETERNAL DAUGHTER
BOTTOMS
ANATOMY OF A FALL
SALTBURN
NAPOLEON
THE BIKERIDERS

Just rewatched the best October movie ♥️

London Film Festival is kicking off tomorrow and the FOMO is real #LFF
