I will always tell people to watch these:
- Cinema Paradiso (original cut- it makes me cry every time)
- Godâs Own Country (also makes me cry)
- Banshees of Inisherin (again, makes me cry)
- Hunt for the Wilderpeople (funny)

awesome! thank you. Also Anora was good imo, there are certain things I canât speak to. I think many people can empathize with her which is an important part of immersion, and itâs really fucking sad.

Ok but fr..
If you liked Worst Person in the World then watch⊠Weekend (2011)
If you liked Eternal Sunshine then watch⊠Punch Drunk Love (2002)
If you liked Anatomy of a Fall (I havenât seen it yet) then watch⊠Force Majeure (2014)Â
If you want to be moved, a James Ivory film is always reliable in that department. My favorites are Maurice đâ€ïžâđ©č (hugh grants floppy hair should have won best supporting actor) and Room With a View â€ïžâđ„ (Beauty! Joy! Love!)

I Lost My Body (2019) directed by Jérémy Clapin. A quote from the director about this film that I really love is " what the hand touches is felt through the sound". There is something about the way that this film approaches fantasy and surrealism that makes it one of one.
Wall-E (2008) directed by Andrew Stanton. Old but classic, and still relevant with its themes around environmentalism and community.
The Holiday (2006) directed by Nancy Meyers. I watch this even when its not Christmas, and there is just something so satisfying about it. Has one of my favourite soundtracks of all time.
Everything Everywhere All At Once (2022) directed by Daniel Kwan and Daniel Scheinert. This movie kind of changed my life, when I make art I feel like in some of it you can see that this film has influenced me, and maybe it will do the same for you.
Neria (1991) directed by Godwin Mawuru. Its one of my country's (Zimbabwe) most well known films. Its story follows a woman who falls victim to the greed of her brother in law that wrongs her and her children. It has strong socioeconomic commentary and is hotly debated today. Its also a film that is came out long before I was born so I cannot emphasize its impact enough.

I moved countries when I was younger and one of the things I've felt super guilty about recently is not being as close to my childhood friends as I used to be, so I have been making the concious effort to reach out again. Not letting go of friendships that you really value is super important I think.

I started crocheting over lockdown and I found that Pinterest is great for finding free patterns and general inspiration.
YouTube is like the best place as well because it has sooooo many free tutorials, especially for beginners. One of my favourite YouTubers for crochet and general blogs and things like that is Nikita Nightingale, sheâs really cool. Anna Greene is good too
