Pete Ashton's Notes & Links

I appear to be watching Oscar nominated movies this last week or so.

A Real Pain ★★★★★ Just gorgeous. I saw myself in both the cousins and wanted to give them a big hug.

Anora ★★★★☆ Felt a bit uncomfortable watching it but in hindsight that was the point. Nicely ambiguous, and I need to see his back catalogue now.

The Substance ★★★★☆ A wild fucking ride. Am amazed this got nominated for anything. Will be thinking about it for a while.

Conclave ★★★☆☆ Entertaining nonsense with a stacked cast but pretty lightweight and unmemorable.
