Many happy returns.

I didn't care for The Lobster either but was impressed by the chilly, Kubrick like Sacred Deer. Molly's Game - Aaron Sorkin (2017) Typically rapid fire, dense dialogue based twisty tale is sparklingly entertaining with Jessica Chastain in top form. The bits that expounded on the tactics of poker were barely comprehensible. The Missus and I both thought it was a bit self indulgent with too much plot. It felt like the first time director was eager to cram all his ideas in come what may, Several times it appeared to have finished and then went on to a coda, then another, then another. The two leads should be commended for learning all the lines. Hats off to their phenomenal memories.

On the last few pages.

While the board was down.

Yep. Withdrawal symptoms rapidly abating !

The Killing Of A Sacred Deer - Yorgos Lanthimos (2017) Brilliant psychological horror film with outstanding direction,cinematography, music and acting. This would have gone in my best of 2017 list if I'd seen it earlier.

I said that about ten years ago. It didn't work. I became enamoured with a minimalist, less is better philosophy but it went the way of all the best laid plans of mice and men.

Professor Marston And The Wonder Women - Angela Robinson (2017) Good film, I liked it.

This looks like a fast read.

The Iron Men

The Florida Project - Sean Baker (2017) Emperor's new clothes syndrome. Meh.

Thanks, Bob. The mention of David Starkey prompted me to also watch his Channel 4 programme 'Edward & Mary ; The Unknown Tudors '', which acts as a great lead in to the Lady Jane Grey story.
