The Virgin Suicides for me. I bought it last week and haven't been able to work up the gumption to watch it yet. Maybe tonight.

I, Daniel Blake

When I say 'favourite', I mean it's the most compelling, devastating, truthful movie I've ever seen that I was transfixed by for it's entire duration, and never want to see again.

I've been on job seeker's allowance. I've suffered the indignity of the weekly visits to the job centre to be sneered at for not applying for an adequate number of jobs, of for not just accepting the first shitty delivery jobs on the list. But I was lucky enough to be healthy. I can't imagine having to deal with all that shit while also being sick.

Being in that situation right now - damn, I don't think I could watch it.

Yeah, I wouldn't recommend it. I mean, it's a beautiful, powerful film, but yeah.

Here's hoping your fortunes improve x
