@LyndseyStonebri There are so many better films to see (fairly easily) atm. Blue Jean, Close, All the Beauty and the Bloodshed (which I think you praised).

[Rupert Jones-Lee @RupertJonesLee]

We’ve just released the @filmtvcharity Looking Glass ‘22 Report, showing progress is starting to be felt in our industry when it comes to tackling poor mental health.

@LyndseyStonebri Under the circs, any lightness is probably a blessing. (Maybe an intentional gift?). Grab it. Thinking of you.

@LyndseyStonebri “…about the young idea….”

[Rupert Jones-Lee @RupertJonesLee]

@LyndseyStonebri London’s greatest strength is its wonderful ability to absorb, I think.

[Rupert Jones-Lee @RupertJonesLee]

@LyndseyStonebri This one feels bittersweet and plaintive. Am remembering a first phone call back home, when I I unconvincingly held it together and then ran out of the phone box in floods of tears. But these days they come back, I believe. ❤️ ❤️ ❤️

[Rupert Jones-Lee @RupertJonesLee]

@JaneyGodley Oh, my dear… A big hug from about of the blue. And by the look of it times many thousands. Rx
