I thought that as well.
All these unanswered questions I’m starting to think it’s not good after all.

One of things I was unsure about was the link with Oliver’s parents. Obviously meeting the parents was a way of showing Oliver was a liar and to create the split with his friend (forgot his name) but we’re we meant to understand something about his parents and the role they played in creating him? I noticed there was a knowing look from the father that seemed to imply something.

Oliver created the lie that his father died of an overdose. But it was Felix who made the call to meet Oliver’s mum on his birthday. Maybe his parents were part of the plan

JonQPublik Thank goodness for the final scene.

A man with a large penis dancing naked?

Along_the_Wire It was definitely less salacious than it would have been 30 years ago.

The main learning point from it was to never have Amps come over to stay.

C_J Looking forward to this one, great reviews everywhere. Should have squeezed it in for Christmas, versus the absolute Eddie Murphy garbage I hit play on randomly.

rhouses same here, saw a trailer the other day

Homegrove

Got tickets to see it this Saturday also.

I put it on at 11pm on Christmas Day once everyone was in bed. Meticulously planned.

At the risk of sounding like a complete sad bastard …….. I feel like watching it any time other than from the 23rd - 29th of December would be ….. highly suboptimal.

Keep it for next year would be my advice.

The Black Bear (2020)

Watched this as I like Aubrey Plaza’s work (Emily the Thief etc.) The acting is superb but the movie is basically 2 sketches with the actors’ relationships and power dynamic inverted. People have put entire theses on forums trying to explain what’s going on in this film and still not reached consensus. If you’re a fan of art house then maybe it’s for you, but I wanted a modicum of narrative which I didn’t get. 5/10

Wasily yeah the switch up in the second act kind of lost me. Didn’t mind the first part.

Homegrove

Adam Driver presumably as McCaul in the flashback-parts. Can’t see him being Chris in the early 2000s parts of the book.

Wally

Homegrove Wonder who they’ll replace Kilmer with for the forward in time parts, unless they just decide to stick with the prequel stuff.

The book was pretty average really so can’t say I’m confident this is going to be anything other than ‘meh’ - neither shitting on or saying something new in comparison to the original.

Wasily

Ferrari (2023)

Sort of like a decent version of Ridley’s shit House of Gucci. I don’t why Driver keeps getting cast in these Italian parts, but he’s ok in this; everything’s much sharper, has more cohesion and he’s helped well by Cruz and Woodley. The racing is a decent counterfoil to the personal backstory and has some spectacular cinematography. The crashes are very graphic.

7/10

Wasily I’ve seen so many trailers for it, I don’t think I could bear to watch the bastard

Wally

Saltburn - expected sickness and debauchery. Got a tepid, occasionally amusing flick instead. 7 common people / 10

Watched Killers Of The Flower Moon over Christmas . Has to be one of the most overrated films in history. The hype that this film created was unnatural compared to the reality of actually watching it. Passable at best…and I mean at best.
5.5/10

Millsy

Another film Sean didn’t understand
