About

Hi, I’m Phoebe.

I am a self-confessed lover of all things film and television. I love to write, especially about the things that make a strong impression on me (whether it be deep admiration or repulsion) and so I thought: what better way to practice my love for the screen than to place all my thoughts on films, old and new, into one collection for the world to see.

The Screen Diaries, therefore, is a collection of reviews, random thoughts and remarks on the big and little screen. All opinions are my own. Enjoy!

“…it’s hard to stay mad when there’s so much beauty in the world. Sometimes I feel like I’m seeing it all at once and it’s too much. My heart fills up like a balloon that’s about to burst. And then I remember to relax, and stop trying to hold on to it. And then it flows through me like rain and I can’t feel anything but gratitude for every single moment of my stupid little life.”
