Was really looking forward to seeing this and it didn't disappoint! Wish there were more films coming out like this - short, funny and impactful boxd.it/8y95NZ
A ★★★★ review of A Real Pain (2024)
This is a perfectly formed comedy/drama, following two cousins who are trying to reconnect on a trip to Poland to re-trace the steps of their grandmother. Benji is a fascinating and complex character,...

This story has disturbed me so deeply, I have so much respect for Gisèle Pelicot for her strength through this trial, while these pathetic men evade and excuse their apalling actions. www.bbc.com/news/article...
The 50 men accused in mass rape of Gisèle Pelicot
The men accused of raping Gisèle Pelicot have been dubbed Monsieur-Tout-Le-Monde as they broadly represent a microcosm of French society.

Had a very fun time watching Wicked - not perfect but enjoyable nonetheless boxd.it/7Xke4t
A ★★★★ review of Wicked (2024)
It is a difficult task turning a beloved musical into a film that both satisfies the diehard musical theatre fans and maintains broad appeal. This film mostly lives up to the task, in large part due t...

Had a great time at the Venice Biennale last week. I know nothing about modern art, but it's so fun walking into a space and getting to see what an artist has done with it and figuring out what it all means
I'm late to this, but Adrianne Lenker's recent(ish) album Bright Future is beautiful, multiple songs stopped me in my tracks and I've been replaying "Sadness As A Gift" all day.
Question for #filmsky: has anyone seen the recent Norwegian film Loveable and knows what song is playing during the mirror scene?
I know Labour is far from perfect, but the UK election is possibly the first time I've felt any sort of optimism about politics for my whole adult life. Trump being re-elected feels less like a shock, more like a deflating return to the depressing norm.
Finished Agatha All Along last night (not really a Marvel fan but liked Wandavision). It was mostly fun but also nonsense and an incoherent mess by the end. The cast seemed to be having a good time though
No it's not Halloween anymore but I forgot to post about it the other day and it's another appropriately scary day. I enjoyed this as a fun twist on a horror film trope, and it's very fun watching the chaos of the final 15 mins unfold #filmsky boxd.it/7JhIap
A ★★★ review of The Cabin in the Woods (2011)
A fun, meta twist on a classic horror trope. The set-up of the film means it's not too scary (which I appreciated), leaning more towards the comedy. It goes entertainingly mad at the end and was all i...

Just watched 'How to lose a guy in 10 days' for the first time. Why do we not get romcoms like this anymore? What happened?
It's tough being a film fan in October. I want to see the films everyone's talking about but I'm also a coward.
I've seen some Wes Anderson films before, but I've decided to embark on a full watch/rewatch through his whole filmography. I will post my rating and thoughts in this thread. The order is going to be entirely random. #filmsky
Hoping Bluesky makes me feel slightly less like my brain's melting
