As someone who is very easily moved to tears by emotional scenes, and often feels embarrassed by it, I thought it was lovely that you said you cried at least three times.
If I go and see the film, I will be sure to take a whole box of tissues...
Some more laughs, thank you Philip. Mine was rather serious by comparison and I needed to have a chuckle today. If you haven’t read Attwood’s ‘ Penelopiad’ I recommend it
As I read this you brought home to me in a rather unexpected way that storytelling and bravery-glory, are the great Homeric achievements.

Great review. Thank you, Philip.
Thank you for that detailed review!
