I wasn't sure how I would feel about this film coming in, as I feared it might get preachy and forced. I was pleasantly surprised to see that it was more of a celebration of life, coming of age, and what it means to be alive and free. The acting was very strong across the board, and the script was witty and clever whilst still being deep and meaningful. I found myself very drawn into the story and I loved the way it ended. Very moving, I recommend it. 4/5

The Face of Love
Maybe it's me, but I really got this, it spoke to me in a special way. Benning & Harris were so lovely. 3.5/5

Ruby Sparks
Zoe Kazan's wonderful script takes risks & dark turns & is worth every moment. She & Dano are magical in this. I continue to maintain that Paul Dano is the most underrated actor of his generation - far too few realize how talented he is. 4/5

The Kids Are All Right
Hey, world? Infidelity isn't funny. Should've ditched the rom-com and went straight drama. This could have been amazing, but as is it was just average. 3/5
