So, this happened, I interviewed Christopher Nolan!!
15 years ago I fell in love with cinema watching The Dark Knight, with Nolan’s work inspiring me and my writing on film - he’s the reason I love movies and so, this was a dream come true!

There’s not enough talk about just how good Ving Rhames is in the

Turns out that

and

Arguably Denis Villeneuve’s magnum opus,
#DunePartTwo
is a masterpiece.
Throwing you right into the action, it is totally immersive, gripping, and ultimately devastating. Timothee Chalamet and Zendaya have never been better.
Just truly remarkable filmmaking - I’m in awe 👏

A blast from the start to the end,

Even more bonkers than you may have expected it to be, what took me in was just how much heart the characters have. Genuinely teared up at one point.
Also - so much rat representation 🐀💖

Two hours of pulse-pounding tennis, fierce sexual politics, tense psychological warfare, incredible performances, dripping sweat, and a banging disco score that goes hard from Reznor and Ross.

The lack of accountability in this response is really poor. The fact that he says “I’m sorry that she feels this way” then calling Mulligan’s response “quite a leap” says it all 😬

I loved Ghostbusters: Afterlife and that’s fine. Lots of people didn’t and guess what - that’s also fine.
That should be the end of it. No attacking those who gave a film you love a low review, and vice versa.
