My Year in Chess ♟️🔗

Peterloo, 2018 - ★★★★★

This is my second viewing of Peterloo and I've rated it more highly this time - 5★ instead of 4★. On first watching I found it a little long and slow, dragging slightly. This time I was far more engaged with the characters and found it a gripping slow-burn to a dramatic finale. Great filmmaking.

Bought some mince pies from an Ottolenghi deli during my recent visit to London. Now trying them with a coffee … superb 👌
