CA Milbrandt
Anglophile, wanderer, humanist. Her favourite films are emotional period dramas with strong female leads. When not in the cinema or dancing to Scottish folk tunes, CA Milbrandt is probably doing something terribly English, like embarking on the quest to make the perfect cup of tea or strolling through the park with her wellies on. She's also a fan of Russell Howard's... but don't hold that against her. Heaven only knows how she plans to finish her MA in Film, Television, and Screen Media at Birkbeck, University of London this autumn.
The Good Dinosaur is Disney/Pixar's second film this year and tells the uplifting tale of a young dinosaur's journey home in the company of his human friend.
