âSpencerâ is far better than I had originally thought it had any right to be. In-between feeling over-saturated by the cloying character of Diana in the last two seasons of âThe Crownâ and the Naomi Watts starred film âDianaâ back in 2013, which was severely slaughtered and I thought not quite as bad as people seemed to make it out to be. I was getting a bit of Diana sequel fatigue. Then there is the fact that I am unequivocally not a fan of Kristen Stewart (who plays the title role) and I usually tend to avoid her at all costs! So why did I enjoy this film so much?

âCâmon Câmonâ is a much needed warm embrace of a film in our current social climate. Directed by Mike Mills; the film is a naturalistic, existential dramedy that concerns the relationship between somewhat estranged brother and sister played by Joaquin Phoenix as Johnny and Gaby Hoffmann as Viv. Johnny visits his sister after a long break and reacquaints himself with his mischievous and intelligent nephew Jesse (Woody Norman). Johnny decides he wants to ask him to join him for a week and a bit in NYC to work on his journalist teamâs research for a radio show - to which he smiles and says âIâd love toâ. Here they interview youth about their hopes and fears for the future. All the while his mother Viv back home, deals with helping her partner, Jesseâs father (who has bi-polar) and has recently moved out.

I wrap myself up in its covers - Squeezing every last drop of warmth and security. Tempting to cease being idle and throw back the covers?!
