Thanks Charlie. A perceptive review of a fine movie.
Thank you! As you can probably tell, I was very fond of it, and was therefore very nervous about doing it justice
Brilliant review Charlie. Looking forward to hopefully reading your thoughts on Call Me By Your Name, a film which deals with similar themes in a beautifully evocative and profound way.
