Massive letdown from Christopher Nolan
Christopher Nolan has a bit of a name for himself, and a bit of a following.

While I haven't seen all of his films, I have (mostly) quite enjoyed the ones I have seen - The Dark Knight trilogy, Inception, The Prestige, Insomnia, Dunkirk and Interstellar - so it's always an event when he releases a new movie.

This particular one had the mis(?)fortune to be released in the middle of the Covid-19 pandemic in 2020, when large gatherings put health at risk and when cinemas were struggling after being closed for months on end.


I never saw it on the big screen as a result.

Having now seen it (on Amazon Prime), I'm quite glad that I didn't pay (and put my health at risk) to see it in the cinema - honestly, I found it mostly dull, incomprehensible (in that I couldn't make out half the dialogue) and interminable in length, despite the occasional 'money-on-the-screen' sequence

If you want to see a good 'backwards' story, watch the Backwards episode of Red Dwarf (season 3, episode 1) instead.

Hard hitting read with lots of home truths
It's great to hear some real topics being discussed for a change - feminism, domestic violence, mental health and the justice system. The story is extremely dark but realistic sadly, and it's great that the writer did not hold back in showing all the different tenets of a personality. Some of the story was predictable in terms of who was sending the graphic emails, but rather than seeing it as a detective story, it's like a psychological analysis into people's characters.

Intriguing and interesting.

A necessary book to read as a teenager
Reading J. D. Salinger's renowned book when you're younger makes perfect sense because you can relate to the main character, and his wayward ways while growing up. He's awkward, but most importantly he's on the brink of self-destruction which many teenagers can relate to. As an adult reading it, Holden Caulfield will seem like just an arrogant teenager, but as a young person you'll see he's just trying to find his way in the world, also bringing up awareness of mental health. A classic book.

This book is an enjoyable, 'heart'- warming story about dealing with learning to live a 'normal' life after not knowing whether you were going to have a life at all. It also touches on the very important subject of organ donation being opt-out instead of opt-in, which is a very important cause. All in all, an easy read that covers all bases - family, love, friendships, health, grief. I found the back and forth between past, future, blog, news reports a bit confusong at times, but not enough to detract from the book.

"I received an Advance Reader Copy of the book from the publisher." In Carey Scotts newest book which is coming out in July she tackles the hard subject of fear. I am going through a painful moment in my life that centers around my health condition and a lot of the things Scott shared with me is helping me through it. I appreciate her in depth study on fear and not being being afraid and what God has said about it in the Bible. This is a great book to dive into.

Superb
The best, most engaging and accurate portrayal Of a simple man suffering from Mental Health problems and the society around him that either can't or won't help him...

When going into this flick I couldn’t have imagined how much of an effect it would have on me. This is was an absolute masterclass in filmmaking and one of the single best performances I have seen in the last decade.

Oh it’s also a Batman DC tie-in so that makes it all the sweeter
