Morning Pages | 29 June 2025

I've had a bit of a movie binge weekend, watching a bunch of French language films on the back of having watched Portrait of a Girl on Fire on Friday. Since writing these pages, I've watched another two Dardenne brothers movies, so that's three today. I got into them when my wife bought me a boxset for my birthday many years ago, and as there are loads of them on Curzon and my trial runs out today, it seemed like a good use of a Sunday!

The two movies with 4.5 stars might well be five-star films, but I have a rule of never awarding five stars on the first viewing. The only movie I broke that rule for was Marriage Story, but I’ve since rewatched it so the rule is back in tact I guess?
