I saw La La land at the weekend, despite hating Jazz and musicals I realy enjoyed it
beat the usual marvel rubbish I take my kids to
next is Timothy Spall in Denial - prescient in the current atmosphere

I have to stress how good Silence is. Beautifully shot, uncomfortable and as deep as the art form allows. It's Scorsese doing as he pleases and is so, so tender and exacting and uncompromising. Watch it on your own with a glass of something and soak-up the atmosphere and anguish and glory of faith and the human condition. Arguably the most thought provoking film I've seen.

I'm sure La La Land is very good, but I just can't get excited about it; will keep an open mind. Denial looks to be more my cup of tea.

it was for my half sister in laws 18th birthday celebrations and the cinema was a really great one on the Mile End Road
it just made a change from all the super hero cr4p and the ending was great too
whilst on thought provoking films - one that I though was beautiful, and a wonderful uplifting examination of the human condition was
"The Lives of Others"
if you haven't seen it - really make the effort

Heard nothing but good things about Arrival and it's on my list of films to watch. Will come back to you when I've seen it.

Thought Arrival was really good. Explores some interesting concepts about the nature of time and shines a light on the human reaction to the unfamiliar.

Watched it this evening and enjoyed it, but with a few caveats. Look forward to discussing them with you. No spoilers, but as you'd imagine, Spall is excellent.
