Wannabe cinephile, with at least 90% of my head filled just with all things cinema. Tend to be a bit strict with critiquing popular culture, but am a major fan of light entertainment from time to time. I never moved on from Xavier Dolan’s Mommy, and my favourite aspect of film is writing, with my personal favourite screenwriter being Celine Sciamma. DC over Marvel anyday, unless it’s Netflix because Daredevil is my favourite TV show after Fleabag and Brooklyn Nine-Nine. I live to spread the word of underrated media, and I’ll always uphold animation as the most powerful medium of narration.
