21st - went to see The Dive as part of Odeon’s Scream Unseen program. Main problem was that it wasn’t a horror film and, while going to see unknown films can often expose you to different films you might not have gone to, this just made me conclude that it isn’t a film I’d have gone to the cinema to watch or watch on telly even if the remote was broken and I couldn’t change the channel. It’s like a dull 127 Hours with too many forced errors and bad decisions. It looked beautiful though - an example of “every frame is a painting” but it wasn’t enough to save it.
