positive · AI labelView post →does any recent movie have a bigger gap between what it sounds like and what it is than Mothering Sunday?
neutral · AI labelView post →I’m such a britaphile. If you ever want to see a film that will change your life watch Mothering Sunday. Heartbreaking film that shows how classism is a terrible system.
positive · AI labelView post →Josh O’Connor clearly wants to be able to and is making a damn good show of it. And more power to him given how puritanical film and audiences have gotten. Frontal in God's Own Country, Hide and Seek, and Mothering Sunday, then backal(?) in Challengers, Only You, and Bridgend.

The last season of that show is now at the library so I should check it out. Yes, don't have Netflix.

positive · AI labelView post →My Wife choose the Wednesday date night movie this evening. Went with MOTHERING SUNDAY. Doesn't really make me want to become a writer. Mostly because it's too cold to be naked that often. I don't believe that central heating was that great in the 1920s.

Traditionally, maids were released from service on this day so they could go and see their mothers. #NowPlaying #MotheringSunday https://open.spotify.com/album/4xOErHlLPml4dw7mXvcl5Y?si=BIDziyReQyyFuj3hg0I-vw
neutral · AI labelView post →Told by way of a retrospective triptych of recollections from the now successful author "Jane" (Glenda Jackson), we are taken back in time to her younger self - Odessa Young - who portrays an orphaned young maid working in the home of the "Niven" family - Colin Firth and Olivia Colman. Over the course of the first portion of the film we learn that she has been having a dalliance with "Paul" (Josh O'Connor), the son of the neighbouring "Sheringham" family. The pair appear in love with each…
