I don't know how my local cinema stays open because there was only me and one other person there this afternoon - for this lovely film that was sad and funny. And definitely aimed at my generation as I'm all too obviously there for the silver screen discount and the free coffee (delivered to my seat by a nice Generation Z-er who didn't want me to miss the start of the film). It has been quite a cinematic week as I also saw Prima Facie with an astonishing performance by Jodie Comer; first time I'd seen a NT Live production - apart from a few at home during lockdown - as if you live in London it's just as easy, and often cheaper, to go to the theatre. I didn't think I'd be as engaged watching a screen - but I was mesmerised.

Hmm, sounds interesting, thank you.

Lovely to see you back - I do rely on your recommendations as they are so often for less obvious and more off beat treats. I also saw My Favourite Cake in an empty cinema - and much enjoyed it. Prima Facie on the other hand, packed! But equally enjoyable.
