This covers what was happening to Jane in the film (and why!), and the ending. Very spoilery, in all dimensions. (My 4/5 review is here) “In a world of quantum science, anything that can happen will happen. Every choice you make creates infinite possibilities, infinite worlds, where each outcome exists.” So says Professor Aaron Östergaard… To Infinitum and beyond!

Locked Down ending: from hedgies & homebaking to the Harris diamond, what happened?
Very spoilery! Edgar Allan Poe may have said “There are some secrets which do not permit themselves to be told,” but not here. (Or read my review.) “Freedom Linda, in one beautiful moment,” says Paxton as the stand in Harrods, dithering over whether to swap the fake diamond with the real one she’s supposed to be… Locked Down ending: from hedgies & homebaking to the Harris diamond, what happened?

Locked Down 3 stars
Just as they decide to separate, Linda and Paxton find life has other plans when they are stuck at home in a mandatory lockdown.

2020: That Was The Year That Wasn’t…
…but also so long they named it twice. One pandemic. Two national lockdowns. Three release dates for No Time To Die. It’s quite fitting that my first and last reviews of 2020 were about family: Little Women, a story about holding on to yourself and your identity, whatever life throws at you; and The Midnight… 2020: That Was The Year That Wasn’t… Read More

About Songbird: the more things change the more we stay the same
This is spoilery as I’m delving into some of Songbird’s characters (and John Wick: Chapter 2, for reasons which will become clear). My three-star review, which is here, is no more spoilery than the trailer. Rich people heading out of town, taking the virus with them; sweetly personal stories about the lengths people will go… About Songbird: the more things change the more we stay the same Read More
