Best Films of 2022. From my number one, Martin McDonagh’s The Banshees of Inisherin, w heartbreaking performances by Colin Farrell, Brendan Gleason, Barry Keoughan, and particularly Kerry Condon. a profound layered onion of a script in a film so distinctly Irish in the 1910s, about friendship, companionship, loneliness, isolation of place and self, and the stubbornness of men. Followed by such a beautifully and delicately made Chinonye Chukwu’s Till w amazing performance by Danielle Deadwyler, about a crucial part of US and Civil Rights history, and a mothers love for her child, the racist and horrific loss of her child and how she channeled her grief into action. My other favorite, Jerzy Skolimowski’s EO about the life and point of a view of a donkey told so touchingly and brilliantly. To Sara Dosa’s epic documentary about two volcanologists husband and wife, Katia and Maurice Krafft, Charlotte Wells brilliant directorial debut Aftersun, a coming of age story and character study of a young father and daughter, Sarah Polley’s delicate and powerful Women Talking based on the great novel by Miriam Toews with the best ensemble of 2022, The Daniels’ acid trip and touching character study of a Chinese immigrant wife and mother who escapes her disempowered present to many different worlds and selves, Todd Field’s Tar with a tour de force performance by Cate Blanchett in a film about the meditation of power. #bestfilmsof2022 #thebansheesofinisherin #martinmcdonagh #colinfarrell #brendangleeson #barrykeoghan #kerrycondon #till #chinonyechukwu #danielledeadwyler #mamietill #emmetttill #eo #jerryskolimowski #auhazardbalthazar #tar #toddfield #cateblanchett #everythingeverywhereallatonce #thedaniels #michelleyeoh #jamieleecurtis #womentalking #sarahpolley #miriamtoews #charlottewells #aftersun #paulmescal #fireoflove🔥❤️ #saradosa https://www.instagram.com/p/CpsZnSlOiIG/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Two great books by Canadian authors
Two great books by Canadian authors
Fight Night by Miriam Toews Of all the books I’ve read by best-selling Giller Prize-nominated Canadian author Miriam Toews, her latest, Fight Night is probably my favourite. It is also her funniest. Through the skillful use of contemporary idiom, Toews tells the story in the voice of nine-year-old Swiv who lives with her mother and grandmother in downtown Toronto. Swiv has the perspective of a…

È da troppo tempo che vorrei parlarvi di questo piccolo romanzo, non tanto per il libro in sé, ma per la storia che c'è dietro. Un fatto di cronaca vero e assurdo. L'autrice ha costruito il romanzo per parlarcene e portare tutto ad una maggiore conoscenza. Anche perché senza questo libro, mai ne avrei sentito parlare. . . Non ne ho mai fatto un'opinione perché il romanzo in sé resta un grosso "NI" e mi sarei concentrata solo sulla storia vera, ma è difficile farlo al meglio nero su bianco. Però voglio parlarvene. Ditemi voi se preferireste una diretta/IGTV (magari già stasera) oppure 1000 stories ma con i sottotitoli. Vi lascio il sondaggio nelle stories di oggi. . . Fatemi sapere anche qui, come commento. Mi farebbe piacere sapere cosa preferireste e perché. Intanto, buona domenica 😊 . . #DonneCheParlano #MiriamToews #MarcosYMarcos #storiavera #romanzo #daleggere #instabooklovers #instalibri #instaread #libridaleggere #instabook #instaphoto #instalibri #leggeresempre #viaggiatricepigra https://www.instagram.com/p/CD8d6_bH4SG/?igshid=5ws46ta1a42g

Do you have women in your life (or good friends) that you can talk to and confide in? . I am fortunate enough to have my IRL bestie @lifeinlit and two amazing sisters that I can talk to about anything and trust them to actually HEAR me. The book Women Talking by Miriam Toews is based on the real lives of eight Mennonite women who are trying to escape their community where they are oppressed and abused. It sounds like such a powerful and eye opening book! It released on 4/2/19 and I will leave the full synopsis below! . Thank you so much to @bloomsburypublishing for gifting me with this free book! ________________________________________________________ One evening, eight Mennonite women climb into a hay loft to conduct a secret meeting. For the past two years, each of these women, and more than a hundred other girls in their colony, has been repeatedly violated in the night by demons coming to punish them for their sins. Now that the women have learned they were in fact drugged and attacked by a group of men from their own community, they are determined to protect themselves and their daughters from future harm. . While the men of the colony are off in the city, attempting to raise enough money to bail out the rapists and bring them home, these women―all illiterate, without any knowledge of the world outside their community and unable even to speak the language of the country they live in―have very little time to make a choice: Should they stay in the only world they’ve ever known or should they dare to escape? . Based on real events and told through the “minutes” of the women’s all-female symposium, Toews’s masterful novel uses wry, politically engaged humor to relate this tale of women claiming their own power to decide. #womentalking #miriamtoews #bloomsburypublishing #onmytbr #womenempowerment #womentogether #bookaesthetic #bookstagram #bibliophile #bookworm #flatlay #bookflatlay #flatlayoftheday #igbooks #booksandcoffee #booksandflowers #pinkroses https://www.instagram.com/p/BwcIaSzhSiA/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=9iwisnlr3lud

Stay and fight, leave... or do nothing? Sarah Polley's Women Talking isn't an easy watch - but it's incredibly powerful.
Now booking at Regent Street Cinema.

why are we always told that God will answer our prayers if we believe in Him? Why can't he ever make the first move?

Ours is essentially a tragic age, so we refuse to take it tragically. The cataclysm has happened, we are among the ruins, we start to build up new little habitats, to have new little hopes. It is rather hard work: there is now no smooth road into the future: but we go round, or scramble over the obstacles. We've got to live, no matter how many skies have fallen.
D.H. Lawrence via Miriam Toews
