Oh yes that does look lovely, and I say that as someone who is increasingly tired of straight people

 

[Finn]

A film that's entirely about two attractive, well-off middle class straight people's relationship? Normally NO THANKS, but it's ok here because one of them dies.

Has anyone else seen it? It's definitely elevated by the performances, but I rather enjoyed it. Not sure it needed the competitive cookery competition done-in-secret-while-undergoing-chemo (er???) plotline, but I suppose that was interesting in a Masterchef way.

@Moderator can we merge please?

I think this was indeed lovely, if you can use that word to describe a movie that is building towards one of the leads dying

I thought it worked well with how it jumped around between times, so we weren't stuck with one big cancer section at the end. The thing that got me was how her chef colleagues thought the shaved hair was just a style choice?? How was her diagnosis still meant to be a secret at that point

 

[Finn]

Oh whoops. I even replied to that thread and everything.

I saw this tonight, quite liked it. Both the leads are good, its nice but I would have quite actually liked it in normal time rather than back and forth in time, which maybe defeats the point of the film and title but you know.

Didn't really buy the whole champion ice skater thing either. I enjoyed it but i guess it didn't touch me, or grab me like I felt it should.
