Next up for us will be Frankenstein I suspect. Then maybe Sentimental Value (we'll see).

I was surprised to find Sinners OK considering it's a zombie meets American-South-Slavery-KKK musical 24 hour romp (un genre one doesn't often stumble across). Obvs the story is utterly bonkers, but the direction, cinematography, lighting & acting made it great fun #film

Marty Supreme has as many plot holes as the UK has potholes. Unnecessary & utterly bizarre subplots! Honestly! The timeline's screwy too (unless it had the longest pregnancy in history) & where did the money go? #film

One Battle After Another has massive flaws imo. The plot is definitely one; it makes no sense. In fact the storyline is bizarre anyway. But the big one is the utterly dreadful score, inappropriate/intrusive/ annoying/ loud OMG!! why is it up for awards at all??? #film

We watched "If I had Legs I'd Kick You". Thought-provoking! The acting by Rose Byrne is exceptional (& really should win awards). The direction, writing, editing, everything (which all seem to be Mary Bronstein, who's also in it to boot). It's tragic, but worthy #film
