Course my life was better 50 years ago. I was 7. Mum & Dad did stuff for me. Considered a genius cos I could do long division. Could get away with sulking.
But fairly certain the 70s were shit for lots of people. Everyone wore brown suits. Oh, and there was a global recession & mass inequality.

Went to see this yesterday and it’s my favourite “little” movie of the year so far. But I probably won’t have time to write a review. So, just go see and support your local art house cinema.
