Not a lot to say about any of them, but have a few short reviews.
Bend it Like Beckham, a coming-of-age bi-romance. It's all about the love between the two main characters, although their romance is down played, which saddened me.
Bärli foundthis rather lovely set of responses to the film.
It was very sweet, and I'm glad I watched it.
Jupiter Ascending.
This is gloriously ridiculous, loved the BTTF reference, there were probably a million more references I didn't get. The acting was phenomenal, Mila Kunis was great as the lead - a character who learns, who demands agency, who is fundamentally competent, and takes control. Also, there are bees that can sniff out princesses and a space werewolf. I've always liked dogs.
Back to the Future.
Well, it's the day for it. Both littles had never seen it before - we watched the first only and then they ran out of film attention. They were utterly enthralled, and Andreas has been skateboarding since.
