Wonderful to catch an advance screening of this beautiful, devastating film at Dublin's @lighthousecinema.bsky.social, feat. an enlighting discussion with Oscar-nominated director Amy Berg

I always used to say to that Itโ€™s Not Me It's You was one of the most perfect pop albums of the 21st-c. The production alone still sounds just as fresh as it when it was released.

So great to see her back in the popular consciousness
