And I wasn't particularly interested in seeing the film before but your review really makes me want to seek it out.

Me, too, I want to see this now as well.

She's lovely. I am star-struck.
It's very addictive, I should know!

Glad you had a such a fantastic night! I am :mrgreen:

What a lovefest at the Closing film gala tonight for Sandra Hebron, praise after praise, especially from director Terence Davies. Shame Rachel Weisz couldn't come. She was one of the best things about the film. The Closing night party was at No1 Marylebone and they laid on lots of coaches to transport guests over there.
