    I think I liked this more than most people. I'm not 100% sure that the three retellings of the same short time period completely worked but I liked the ending; I thought that not having a definitive outcome ramped up the horror/reality of nuclear war. Like, literally any scale of outcome was possible and leaving that space or question in your mind was a more insidious way of making you think about it.

    As mentioned above, has definitely made me want to rewatch some of her other movies. Never cared much for Zero Dark Thirty but definitely must rewatch the Hurt Locker (does anyone know if it's on any of the main streamers?) and might even reconsider Strange Days. Point Break is a stone classic which gets a rewatch every few years anyway and Near Dark is in the pile to be watched.

    Strangers on a Train - 1951.

    Two men meet on a train. One has a problem with his wife. The other has a problem with his father, and suggests they swap murders.

    There are lots of twists and turns in this Hitchcock film (and one beautiful rug pull), and some brilliant shots as well for good measure.

    For a film nearly 75 years old, it feels very sharp and fresh - highly recomended.
