totally loved Rye Lane. The playlist scene at the BBQ was so excruciatingly embarrassing and so perfectly underplayed. (And then the dude singing "sign your name"!) The whole scene was so fully realized, didn't it feel like it was something that actually happened to the writer or director? It felt like a friend telling one of those "you're never going to believe what happened last weekend..."
Also: co-sign on Love and Basketball and Worst Person. Why isn't Renate Reinsve like a huge movie star right now?
ps David Jonsson could only resist for so long - he was in the last Alien movie. He was the only good thing in a dull movie, so he earned his big hollywood pay check and sadly, the Aliens didn't ask it check his playlist.
I loved "The Worst Person in the World" so much!! Looking forward to checking out your other recommendations, Sue. Also loving your new blog too! :)
Thanks so much and lovely to hear from you! I love that movie, too! Highly recommend Rye Lane....

That barbecue scene is one of my new favourites. I laughed so hard! (Also when Colin Firth shows up? GOLD!)
