So Ciwt has been considering what she might watch in this Christmas - New Years stretch.  Marty Supreme is getting excellent reviews for Timothee Chalamet's Oscar worthy performance, its director, cinematography and other perfomers.  But Ciwt is hesitating because she saw Uncut Gems by the same director a few years ago and found it a lot of work to watch.  Adam Sandler was excellent but the movie, with its close up view of a seedy slice of life was difficult for her to take in.  It also moved jittery fast so was agitating to stay with.  And the dialogue was so machine gun rapid, Ciwt strained to hear and keep up with the plot.  Her sense is Marty Supreme has most of these same elements, so she is passing for now. (But will need to get there before Oscar season).

Instead she decided to try an older, English series called Portrait Artist of the Year.  It had been recommended by a friend, and, as much as Ciwt likes to learn about art, she was doubtful.  Probably too ho-hum and twee. Intrigued, she went to Amazon Prime and gave one episode a look-see.  Amazingly, it was very informative and a real nail biter.  So, she's off to episode two.  TaTa...
