Pose (2018)
A show with heart
The show beautifully captures people of colour in the LGBTQ+ community, and the love and care they show to each other when society has forgotten them. Pose is pure, uplifting positivity in the face of prejudice, persecution, the AIDS crisis and Reagan-era selfishness. It is a ray of light in a very dark world and I'm so glad it was made with so much inclusivity in mind.
La piel que habito (2011)
A disgusting depiction of male violence
This movie isn't nuanced or clever. It is violent misogyny, repulsive and horrific. So disappointed in Almadovar for creating this dangerous trash.
After the Screaming Stops (2018)
You couldn't write comedy this funny
This movie is what This Is Spinal Tap was trying to achieve but so much more. The Goss brothers unintentionally put together one of the funniest films of the last 10 years. Matt Goss' insane similes, metaphors and anecdotes are akin to Michael Scott of The Office and really must be heard to be believed. It spoke volumes about how brief and fleeting fame can forever skew a person's perspective of reality and a sense of their own importance. Ultimately Bros were huge for an incredibly small amount of time but seem to perceive themselves to have been at the level of the Beatles and their earnest belief in that makes them both comic and tragic. The battle of egos over the smallest detail in what turns out to be a not exactly sold out show at the shed that is London's O2 is akin to Christopher Guest's 1984 classic. Compelling in its madness and definitely worth a watch.
