If you think you’re heading towards a midlife crisis watch this film – this is a depiction of a midlife crisis to end all mid life crises. Directed by Stacie Passon, Concussion is a familiar story in many ways, a married couple with two children, living a good suburban life which revolves around the children’s schedules and friends. Although they still love

I was born in the year Lota de Macedo Soares died, 1967 and thank goodness attitudes towards lesbians have changed since then. Even if you don't know the story of American poet Elizabeth Bishop and Brazilian architect Lota de Macedo Soares you're sort of aware right from the outset this isn't going to end well. Why ?

What got you started in film? I’ve loved storytelling from the time I was nine. I grew up my entire life dreaming to be a novelist. But after I had written two novels, everyone told me when they read my writing they felt like they were seeing a movie. Since I was a B&W film fanatic — obsessed with all the stars from the 1930’s & 40’s, I guess it

This is a very engrossing film. We live in an age now where really our sexuality is of little consequence, I know in some countries this is not so but my reality as a 41 year old lesbian has been that even in the last 20 years or so such huge inroads have taken place that sometimes I take it for granted. Watching this film made me pause and think again how very lucky I am
