Lynne Ramsay is a generational -and national- talent and you should go see Die My Love.
(my first film watched of my first Inverness Film Festival attended!)

DIE MY LOVE is extraordinary. but its the kind of movie i warn people to be careful when they watch it bc this one sticks around
Jennifer Lawrence delivers career-best work in the spellbinding Die My Love – review
Lynne Ramsay’s all-consuming psychodrama captures the feeling of spiralling mental distress, while boasting brilliant supporting performances from Robert Pattinson and Sissy Spacek

One of my favourite cinema experiences tbh.

After 5 seasons, 51 episodes, and a whole lot of variables along the way, our Fargo rewatch is complete. I can easily say it’s the best TV ive ever watched. Beautifully profound. Staggeringly so.
S3 > S2 > S1 > S5 > S4
I have a *lot* of feelings about it. Ask me about it next time you see me.

A little sentimentality is forgivable at the end of an era, so here's me saying farewell to the Nintendo Switch, the console that accompanied me through some of the toughest and most rewarding years of my life when I was a new parent

Is the Nintendo Switch the best console of its generation – or just the most meaningful to me?
For years, the Switch has been a companion through life’s changes, gaming milestones and a lifeline to fun in chaotic times
