one of the things i love about joanna hogg’s movies is that you can learn something new, or have something hit differently every time you rewatch her movies. 

i criticized the parents reaction to george yelling at oakley a lot more this time around, and their attitude of just sweeping it under the rug and advice to george to “let himself off the hook”. that’s sort of the problem he doesn’t want to see how his behavior is affecting his kid, and the still acts surprised when oakley acts the way he does. 

it also stood out to me way more this time how anna’s husband didn’t want kids, and kept pushing that off which in turn made anna push it off as well. i wish we could know if the husband felt as much regret as anna does. i do wish we got to learn more about most of the main characters in general.
