From scrolling Instagram to doing back-to-back virtual workouts in our makeshift home gym, we’ve been practising all kinds of distraction techniques to keep our minds off what’s going on, and binge-watching our favourite flicks, even if it is for the hundredth time, is the oldest trick in the book. Right now, we’re in the mood to watch all things Rooney Mara, because it’s her birthday but also because she’s had a very good variety of roles.
1. Her – because we love Rooney and Joaquin’s real-life love story, but also a movie about someone so lonely they fall in love with their AI system? Can almost relate after weeks of this iso-life, amirite?
2. Kubo and the Two Strings – Rooney’s voice as the two sisters is so chilling and perfectly cast that it makes this animation even more of a must-see.

3. The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo – anyone else a week away from giving themselves a Lisbeth Salander-inspired haircut?
4. Youth in Revolt – she doesn’t play the biggest role in this indie flick but it’s a good movie to tune out to.

5. Lion – warning: will probably make you cry, but such a touching real-life story that you just can’t miss.
