Four films per month, from any year. If I can be logged on Letterboxd, it is eligible for inclusion.

Peeping Tom (Michael Powell, 1960)

“You won’t see that in Sight and Sound!”

Being John Smith (John Smith, 2024)

I could have watched another hour of this.

Part of “Being John Smith”.
CONDO hosting Tanya Leighton, Berlin & Los Angeles. On at Kate MacGarry until 15 Feb.

Babygirl (Halina Reijn, 2024)

Sweeter and warmer and funnier than I expected! I’m relieved to see it is indeed part of the “Eyes Wide Shut” universe, and I very much enjoyed Nicole’s loose-fit baby blue cashmere jumper.

A Quiet Place: Day One (Michael Sarnoski, 2024)

Apocalypse priorities: your cat and getting a pizza. I found this surprisingly emotional and profoundly moving – anyone who saw Quinn in “Dickensian” all those years ago knows the power of his tear-filled eyes. And Lupita – dragging her exhausted body from safe place to safe place over the course of the film – is, of course, extraordinary.
