Comforting to start the year with the very, very good LICORICE PIZZA, a film about being in your mid-20s and having no fking clue what to do with your life. Loved Gary’s fantasy world and the way Alana’s crushing uncertainty kept her in it, through waterbeds to pinball machines

So many things I could say about SALTBURN but the main thing is Emerald Fennell has no rhythm as a filmmaker?? Everything feels stilted, off-pace, shots held too long or not long enough, no sense of crescendo or catharsis. Almost impressive how it all totally unravels
