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.
