🎬 Banshees of Inisherin 🤩🤩🤩🤩

film

A funny, absurd film set on a remote Irish island, where little ever happens — until now. One day, Colm (Brendan Gleeson) decides he no longer wants to be friends with his long-time pal Pádraic (Colin Farrell). We follow the story mainly from Pádraic’s point of view, who lives with his sister and their donkey on a small, cliff-side farm. Pádraic struggles to understand what he’s done to deserve this kind of treatment, least of all accept the matter. But, Colm’s mind is made up. He intends to spend his final years securing his legacy as a composer, and refuses to squander another precious hour engaged in dull conversation. We can all relate to some degree. Time is precious. People change. Not all relationships are meant to last forever. But, to what lengths would you go?! A charming, surprising film that will leave you perplexed until the bitter end.

🎬 She Said 🤩🤩🤩🤩✨

film

One of the best films I’ve seen so far this year. Of course, I knew the story already. The #metoo movement. The allegations around Harvey Weinstein and what became of him (read: jail). But, She Said is the story of the investigative journalists who broke the momentous news despite the forces of power playing against them. With the support of the New York Times editorial board, these two women fought to bring this article to life. They managed to tell the stories of those who were afraid to speak out. Thanks to their passion for the subject and their relentless pursuit in exposing the culprits, they encouraged key figures to speak out publicly against long-standing sexual abuse practices in Hollywood, and the work place as a whole. You could say they gave this movement its legs. Wonderful, relevant watch. A film about journalism at its finest. Highly recommend.
