The Favourite - an utterly baffling yet compelling film, full of whacky incidents, OTT acting and hilarity. I spent the first half hour thinking "Wtf is this?" and then I just threw myself into it and let it sweep my away. It's not historically accurate but it's not meant to be.

Green Book - WOW. One of my favourite films at the cinema in ages. The perfect balance of comedy and gritty subject matter. It never became diluted with sentimentality and both the two leads had fantastic chemistry and you can really feel them starting to understand the other. A great example of condensing a huge social issue into one relatively simple story. They seem to have really captured the essence of the true story whilst allowing artistic licence to make it a more powerful story.

Just back from this. Really enjoyable. Agree with your summary
