Crying about… Yesterday’s Dinner

It’s Summer 2026 and we are so back!

In this episode, Sam and Keshia went on a trip to the French Alps (delusionally) with a Swedish family on Force Majeure (2014) and went wandering around the contemporary art scene with The Square (2017). Both films were directed by Ruben Östlund and we were transported to a world full of ego, emotional avalanches, fragile masculinity, and enough second-hand embarrassment to power the French tourism board.Want to share your thoughts with us?

Some men have God complexes, so they make movies. In this episode, Sam and Keshia compare two of the biggest films of the year about emotionally neglectful girl dads who turn their inner lives into cinema: Jay Kelly, starring George Clooney, and Sentimental Value, led by Stellan Skarsgård. They may not win Dad of the Year, but they do make for fascinating case studies in male ego, artistic legacy, and the collateral damage of fatherhood. Want to share your thoughts with us?Send us an email to [email protected] and check out our instagram @crying.inthecinema
