“… my favourite film of the weekend: Saul Pankhurst’s To Do. It’s a wonderful skewering of our hectic modern life and the pervasive self-improvement industry... a chaotic animated collage of images that’s part Pop Art, part Dalí, part Monty Python. Anyone who can’t escape swirling thoughts just before bed or during a post-yoga shavasana will surely identify.” Jamie Dunn, The Skinny 2023
