The Englishman Who Went Up a Hill But Came Down a Mountain 1995

Watched 23 Jan 2025 1

Feels fairly baggy even at just a hair over 90 minutes, but quite charming regardless - especially that sweet real-life coda. And I'm a sucker for narration like this!
Meet Me in St. Louis 1944

Watched 22 Jan 2025

Somehow, this was a first time watch for me, and I was instantly besotted. It's so funny, and so beautiful to look at, and such a warm environment to inhabit for a couple of hours. It captures a particular type of yearning for the comfort of home so acutely; there's a lot of movie magic, but it felt a lot more grounded in emotional truth than I was expecting. Impossibly lovely.

Everybody Loves Jeanne 2022

Watched 28 Jul 2023

Really, really loved this - although it's sort of a romcom, and is often very funny, there's a genuine emotional heft to it that hit me in a way I wasn't expecting. The use of Céline Deveaux's animation to illustrate Jeanne's tortured inner monologue manages to compliment Blanche Gardin's engagingly low-key performance rather than overcrowd it, and although Jean is pitched as something of a Manic Pixie Dream Guy, Laurent Lafitte gives him a genuine, complex weight.
Everyone in this film seems like a real person, dealing with very real problems, which makes the hard-earned simplicity of that final scene feel especially lovely.
Roll Red Roll 2018

If you’re looking to get angry - and I mean blood-boilingly, ear-steamingly furious - then I’ve got just the documentary for you...
