I love when women. I bawled. I want to go watch it again
idk if it’s just bc of growing up in london but i often struggle with london based british indies? the dialogue/deliveries can feel jarring, oftentimes accompanied by gcse drama levels of acting, and there’s a lot of recycled cliches that tend to blur into one another, creating an impression that is dull and ubiquitous.this film isn’t entirely void of that - but it gets away with it! on a technical filmmaking level, i don’t think it’s doing anything particularly interesting, and the colour grade is a little lifeless (you can do london grey without it looking so washed out), but my emotional response was undeniable. really something to be said about managing the pacing of a story like this, and building characters you can actually empathise with, when it’s very easy for it to become a hackneyed snoozefest. i may have cried! i might have also just been super tired and vulnerable.. still, the olivia dean park scene was cute, i liked itadditional note - that ai production logo for the world we want studios was heinous
