"Joanna Hogg is one of my favourite directors and I love this film because it explores what it’s like to be an artist. It’s based around the idea that this couple is going to be moving out of their house and that the house somewhat represents their relationship. It’s very poetic and slow-moving. What’s really interesting is the sound design, because Joanna doesn’t use any music, she uses the sound of the traffic outside or the sound of the trees instead. It really adds to the drama and feels like you’re capturing a real moment."

"The next one would be Life Is Beautiful. I could barely speak after seeing that film. I was so moved by it. And again, actually, come to think of it, it’s a very dramatic and comedic film all at once. It’s a true mash-up. The drama of it, though, is the driver, and it’s done so skillfully, and it is so heartbreaking. And the relationship between father and son is so moving and the lengths to which the father will go to try and protect his son under the absolute worst of circumstances is so valiant and catastrophic, really."

"I’m a film school nerd, so I’ve got about a hundred favorite movies. I’d feel like I was cheating on all of them if I narrowed it down to five movies. But con man movies I can do. In no particular order, I guess the first one I’d name is Paper Moon, which, for me, is just a perfect film. It’s also one of the first con man movies I saw that was less about the mechanics of plot and more about the relationships between the characters, and this father-daughter relationship, which is really beautiful. Just a pretty wonderful movie."

4.5 stars

I would have gladly given this five, maybe even ten if it was possible, if the book had ended with a HEA but since it's being stretched into two books instead I'm dropping it half a star. Not much really because I bloody loved these two and their gradual realisation that they wanted each other. It wasn't like a lot of other M/M books I've read where a lot of the relationship happens between chapters. This was all so detailed and I loved every minute of it.

I can't wait to continue Drew and Trent's story.
