Chef

It’s rare that I leave a cinema feeling, for lack of a better word, happy. That’s not to say there aren’t lots of films that I enjoy, this year in particular has been a great one for cinema. Under the Skin was brilliant but I left the cinema feeling rather disturbed and uncomfortable. Twelve Years a Slave was incredible but everybody left the cinema in complete silence, unable to put into words how harrowing the film was. When I left the cinema after watching Chef I was happy, “Ow my face hurts from smiling and I feel warm inside” happy.

The Edge of Tomorrow

I went into the Edge of Tomorrow with low expectations, and I can honestly say that I didn’t come out disappointed. Whilst it didn’t have me on the edge of my seat (see what I did there?) it did manage to keep me in it until the end of the film…just about.
