Hubster and I have had a Cineworld pass for the last few years which means we get to go to the cinema a lot. It’s one of my happy places, a cool dark room, with no phones — I quite often go when I need quiet time (weird eh?).
I’ve made it to 31 films this year. My hands down favourite film of the year was Knives Out — a total surprise as I had no expectations (especially of Daniel Craig with a southern accent) and the first film in a long time where I laughed out loud — and at the same time as others in the cinema no less!
My close second, creeping in at the end of the year was Little Women. I am a child of the 90s so I’m not sure anyone could have ever matched the Claire Danes’ “I can be brave like you” but I was wrong — and I am in love!
Here’s a list of the films I’ve seen in the year:
- The Favourite
