Just saw The Lives of Others there in the IFI. Completely sold out show – there’s something really intense about seeing a show when the whole place is packed out of it.

I’m normally awkward about clapping at the end of a film, but I joined in rapturously at the end of this. Some serious acting going on. The story is Shakespearean, the drama gripping. Huge film.
