    My favourite bit was the montage of time confusion.

    I feel its safe to say Taika is back, baby! Had a rough patch there but I had a good feeling about this one, especially with the cast and it being an adaptation of an acclaimed novel (which I'm reading and seems to have a similar tone). Glad I was right. He's reigned…

    Sort of underwhelming. Missed the opportunity for the poignant social commentary that makes the book so relevant to our times. It could have had more depth and sometimes I felt like we were being spoon-fed the plot. The acting was really good overall and it was cool to see…

    BFI LFF #7 𖤓.⋆*✮ a little childish in a way that tires of being endearing after a while. though it is fun it can only be so charming. it's mostly a heart-warming and amusing story with the exception of a dash of grief commentary in the age of AI, which i liked as a concept…
