If you saw me around #LFF2024, you may have seen me slip my mask off during a screening to sip a drink, or even maskless occasionally at @CentralPictureH eating/drinking. I definitely took a few risks! But I was also always using nasal spray and (once I got home) CPC mouthwash.

Caught A Real Pain and was lucky enough to have the full cast in the house! Kieran Culkin was hilarious as always balancing out some of the somber themes, and had a great chemistry with Jesse Eisenberg. definitely worth a watch! #Movies #ARealPain #LFF2024

Caught The Piano Lesson at LFF as my second film. Loved the score, and cinematography, but ultimately the story itself didn’t grab me as much as I hoped. Solid, but not one that left a huge impact. #ThePianoLesson #Movies #NowWatching #LFF2024

Kicked off London Film Festival with “Eight Postcards from Utopia,” an experimental doc from Radu Jude. It’s essentially a mash-up of post-Communist Romanian ads, showing the weird and cringy side of that transition period and capitalism being brought in big time! Really cleverly edited, with some really funny moments throughout… Wild how misogynistic advertising was back in the day! Worth checking out if you’re into quirky, experimental docs.

Spotted Denis Villeneuve outside @CentralPictureH yesterday. Did a little internal squee. #LFF2024 #LFF

Bit of a wreck (in the best way) after Jesse Eisenberg’s #ARealPain at #LFF2024 prefest screening this morning…

Oof.

(I’m desperately trying to get my head back in the criticism game, promise. Review as soon as I can manage.)

"This is a tactile retelling, inviting us to imagine the sticky feel of Coca-Cola on hot skin in the sun or the heat of a sheepskin coat and the love that goes with it being passed from mum to daughter ahead of a trip abroad" - we take a look at Brazil's Oscar nominee I'm Still Here https://www.eyeforfilm.co.uk/review/im-still-here-2024-film-review-by-amber-wilkinson #TIFF2024 ##72SSIFF #NYFF62 #LFF2024
