Entirely Petty headline. Love it or not. And, yes, I do. The film delivers in scale, ambition and reach at a theatrical screen level. Daring, bold and Cinematically complex. Decidedly a Theatrical experience.
The theater experience won't change your mind on Digger, and the laughs that are there still will be when it hits HBO Max.

The act of killing is one of the most intellectually morally and artistically challenging docs l’ve ever seen.
Doesn’t lend itself to pat descriptions so must be experienced.
Great conversation, detailed and eye opening. Quite atmospheric and cinematic in bits. I’m invested in the story arc with Ike and Sugi in prison. Becker comes across as likeable and inspiring, not in spite but because of everything.

If you are lucky to live long enough, or wise enough; you’ll be alive with people for whom the context of history is genuinely or knowingly lost, non- conveyable or non relatable. It’s a terribly earned grace; this liberating realisation, that you are now free to care only about the things for which you’d be happy to die or die happy upon. -

I find gothic Nigeriana by old masters sublime and terribly honest because l think it’s where they are most proficiently self expressed within the constrains of necessary patronage and funding from sources that prioritise the political over the personal.

I will always love Abayomi Barber’s fabulous ability to convey the subtlest softest emotions on subjects from whom the boring and hardening duality of tiresome hardships or bombastic triumphs is the expected norm.
He let’s be and let’s breathe. A refreshment.
He was great in person too. Gentle, wry, kind to me when l was strapping and he was giant.

my favourite part of Frankenstein was the creature’s curiosity about the world & his instinct to form bonds with the people around him. he perceived the world without the filter of human judgment. he was gentle, and any violence he committed was a reflection of humanity’s cruelty
