Another standing ovation for Prima Facie at Circa last night - a few tears on my face at the repeated one in three statistic regarding sexual assault and woken. Not looking to my left (at my daughter) or my right (at the female whose thoughts are unknown beside me). Really powerful work.

Yes, it's such a wonderful piece and so full on. Glad to hear you experienced a similar after-vibe to the night I went. I'm still thinking about it. And how sad and brilliant it is.

I loved the end of Tar, which set up a fascinating imaginary sequel, and the track Barbarian on the end credits. I found out from YouTube that the creator of Barbarian didn't know his piece was in a film, let alone a film likely to be a hit, until he read the YouTube comments section. So I got to read that feel-good story as it happened.

i'm a fan of the film as well. I think within two months I'll jump in again to dwell in the film's world.

Yeah, I reckon that's a good length of time between dips.
