Hi, my name is Blessing, and I am a sixth-form student currently studying English Literature, French and Government and Politics. I have always loved film, from the lovable rom-com to the gritty, hard- stopping action and everything in between. I have recently begun to explore foreign cinema and in particular French film. My friends and family always tell me what a commentator I am when watching movies, and so I thought, why not create a blog to share my incredible thoughts with all of you! I hope you enjoy my reviews and they prove to be helpful to you in deciding what films to see, Blessing x
