  • Emma Skinner: five step skincare routine by Sydney Duncan
    “

    "five step skincare routine" weaves a brilliant thread of tension - between the terrible truths we cannot look at, and the perfect portraits we cannot look away from. Pietro's tumble through the world is funny, earnest, and devastating by turns. Duncan balances the tonal shifts with pinpoint precision, and had me riveted from the first line to the very last. A wild, wise, and utterly delightful script.
