Dreams (Sex Love), 2024 - ★★★½
I was a little worried 20 minutes in that this was going to be a 90minute monologue from an unreliable narrator. Thankfully not.
What we did get was multiple perspectives on a story and unanswered questions on truth, love, power and infatuation.
Finished reading: Disobedience by Naomi Alderman 📚
Such subtleties in the telling of this story. I’ve raced through it, and although I’d happily read more about the lives of these characters, it’s near perfect in its snapshot of a moment in time.
Finished reading: The Distant Echo by Val McDermid 📚
For a book in the Karen Pirie series, I expected more Karen Pirie. A good mystery to solve nevertheless.
Parasite, 2019 - ★★★★
Amazing how it’s taken me so long to watch this. I wonder if I’d seen it amidst the hype it would have got 5 stars. Nearly, but not quite perfect in my eyes.
Finished reading: Matrix by Lauren Groff 📚
An enjoyable read but was left feeling I wanted something more.
Finished reading: Big Sky by Kate Atkinson 📚
Bit meh. A few too many characters to get really attached to anyone or their story.
Conclave, 2024 - ★★★★
Didn’t have me quite as gripped as the book did, but a beautiful piece of film making.
