Jessie Buckley Fan here...but I also like Great British Films like "I Swear", you know? I will definitely check out the Dirt Road to Lafayette now. Thank you, David!

OMG!!! 🤣

Is that a film or a documentary?

But if you're unhappy with the present situation vote them out by NOT voting for them. If enough people don't vote them back—win!
