FILM REVIEW

Last night I finally decided to watch Cemetery Junction, I really don’t know why I haven’t watched it before. Ricky Gervais is genuinely my favourite tv/showbiz person.

Cemetery Junction was somehow better than I expected, highlighting exactly everything that is brilliant about Gervais and Merchant, perfectly cast, beautifully shot and so encapsulating of what Britain is.

The desperation to take that chance, to step away from the rut of the standard working life, forget what year it’s in, the message is the same wherever and despite my comment about Britishness, that fight for happiness is clearly a universal message, fuck sitting around and waiting, go and get happiness. This does not make me feel worse about feeling stuck in a rut in pretty much every aspect of my life at the moment.

Christian Cooke is a great lead, despite being unknown previously, to me at least, and he’s a great lookalike of Blaine Gabbert. Fact.
