Movies to watch for a fresh start

It's almost the end of 2024, and whilst plenty of people will be looking back on the year with a sense of pride and fulfilment, there's also a few of us who spent the year doomscrolling on TikTok, making bad decisions, and living a "Brat" lifestyle to our own detriment.
