    Proper good film.

    Bloody awful hashtag.
    Quote Quoting Donald Glover
    I was actually just reading about Matt Damon and he’s like, ‘There’s a culture of outrage.’ I’m like, ‘Well, they have a reason to be outraged.’ I think it’s a lot of dudes just being scared. They’re like, ‘What if I did something and I didn’t realize it?’ I’m like, ‘Deal with it.’

    Not as enamored with it as most people but it certainly packs a punch. The fact that the main actor is a comedian is a welcome relief with the more schmaltzy, manipulative moments.

    Watching a Loach-Laverty film is for leftists what going to church is for Christians. It makes you feel warm and virtuous without actually doing anything. As far this sort of thing goes, it's about average.

    2010s Palme d'or winners ranked:
    1. Uncle Boonmee Who Can Recall His Past Lives
    2. The Tree of Life
    3. Winter Sleep
    4. I, Daniel Blake
    5. Dheepan
    6. Amour
    7. Blue Is the Warmest Color

    Just because...
    The Fabelmans (Steven Spielberg, 2022) mild
    Petite maman (Céline Sciamma, 2021) mild
    The Banshees of Inisherin (Martin McDonagh, 2022) mild

    The last book I read was...
    The Complete Short Stories by Mark Twain

    The (New) World

    I've volunteered at a food-bank since January as a result of seeing this movie.
