Went for a Turkish breakfast on Green Lanes with Deborah Levy, for the New York Times. Truly a dream assignment. Thank you also to Vicky Krieps, Xiaolu Guo and @HamishH1931 for speaking to me for this profile nytimes.com/2023/06/02/art…

I took part in a watch party of the adorable new series of HEARTSTOPPER with a group of brilliant and whip-smart teens I met via @TheMosaicTrust. Then we discussed. For @nytimes, one of my fave stories I’ve done in AGES nytimes.com/2023/08/04/art…

Very good piece by @ManiLazic about how critical thinking and film criticism have been devalued and de-incentivised. It has changed SO much since I started writing about movies 10 years ago

Despite sending Anna three separate voice notes telling her all the things that annoyed me about BARBIE, I do quite like it, especially the jokes, and Margot Robbie's performance, and this specific outfit. The Billie Eilish song is deployed with cynical precision and it works.

The speechifying is fucking grating, however, I am not convinced Greta Gerwig's feminism has evolved beyond the specific moment FRANCES HA was released into, a problem for me unforch!
