Happy Sunday! It’s overcast and snowy outside and both me and Albie Dog are feeling grumpy. So this film had better live up to it’s feel good rep!
Tara vs Bilal
It’s on Netflix, every DCIBer who’s seen it has given it a good review, I am willing to check it out especially if I have y’all to watch it with me.
At 8am Chicago time, I will put up an “And PLAY” comment and we will go from there!

Just love street photography, totally just a camera and a small crew. Adds such a lovely charm to it, and the realism is so fresh compared to the usual glossy rom-com.
