Respire

I bet most of you had a best friend in high school. Someone whom you always hanged out with, told everything, shared secrets with. Someone who made you feel found. Someone who made you feel like you weren't alone anymore.

Melanie Laurent's second feature film Respire, based on the eponymous French novel, tells the story of quiet, withdrawn Charlie. Her mother is brokenhearted, her father is a cheating asshole. Charlie has friends but no one she really feels connected to. Then one day a new, intriguing girl shows up in her class - Sarah. Sarah and Charlie quickly become best friends. But nothing lasts forever and when Charlie discovers Sarah's secret things take a turn...

Thoughts on BAFTAs

Goode. Ruffalo. Hiddleston. Cavill. I wonder how many ovaries exploded on that red carpet tonight.

There were no bloody commercials so I was literally holding in pee for 2h to see Goode because I knew he will present. 

That's LOVE. 

And they didn't show it in the broadcast!!!!! WHY GREAT BRITAIN, WHY?! I ALWAYS TRUSTED YOU!!!!

But you gotta adore how they don't censor the F words in clips.

Fry called Patricia Arquette Rosana Arquette and her husband's face was hilarious

Fry also made a crack about Russian soldiers and Goode looked so horrified

Fry mentioned the tradition of blowing a kiss and decided this time it needs to be an actual kiss, he came down to Norton and Keaton because 'he saw what Norton did on stage in Birdman'. The two kissed him.

Visual Parallels: Stoker + The Guest

A handsome, intriguing, dangerous stranger. A young girl. A house in small town. Murder, desire, mystery.

The Imitation Game

The subject of greatness comes up during every Oscar season.  It's usually the story of someone who lived in turbulent time and had either a major love affair or contributed to the world in significant way. Those films are usually beautifully shot, scored with great music and feature well known actors who deliver good, often career best work. And they always get criticized for being filled with cliches and that huge Oscar bait sign they should have attached to them.
