The Fighter (2010)

What’s Micky up to now?

Olga’s Notes:

Note1: A brilliant portrayal of family ties that bind and confuse in an effort to keep each member confined to their place within this dysfunctional unit.

Note2: Throughout the film, Cristian Bale and Mark Wahlberg dance around each other in that perfectly synchronised, ostensibly unrehearsed way we get to call screen chemistry.

Four sisters.

Helena’s Notes:

Note1: I have never tried crack because, like ketamine and MDMA, these things were yet to be invented back in the day when Olga’s words still kept me kicking around in the dust. Obvs, I shall never forgive her for cutting short my chance to try everything. Although to be fair, crack addicts do look like earthed demons. Not pretty.

Note2: Perfectly synchronised like a pair of dolphins like a couple of fairies like two balls in a sack OMG. Olga’s saying I’m, like, insulting her favourite actors slash future husbands.

I mean. What am I supposed to say if I’m not even allowed to say anything. Just sit here and be bored. May as well take up boxing.

Two brothers.
