Thought I'd catch on another of Villeneuve's earlier movies before BR2049. It's BRILLIANT. Jackman is a bit shouty at points, and it's a bit tough in the middle (in both length and content), but Jake Gyllenhaal is amazing and the final act is just stunning. Really impressed
Don't forget Paul Dano - imho one of the most talented new wave of actors from Hollywood.
Currently on Amazon Prime, best film I've seen in ages. Brilliant exploration of law and morality / family / economics / geography and poverty, and the characters are absolute joy. Jeff Bridges, Ben Foster and Chris Pine are superb and it is directed by David McKenzie.
This waitress scene is a jem.
Dark, tough. It's a biblical analogy set in an almost horror genre. If you like art films and allegorical stuff (and if you know the story, the Bible) then it might, or might not be up your tree.
The whistleblower who worked for the CIA great movie

(And then "Risk" from last year - if you liked that one).
I feel like I still need to mentally digest it but it's really really good.
One of those films I've always been aware of by reputation but never actually seen - I got it on DVD recently.
It's fantastic. Nothing like the romanticised Hollywood version of the West in any way, and all the better for it. It's somehow gritty and realistic while also dreamlike and ethereal at the same time - beautifully made and brilliantly acted. Pleased to have it on DVD since it will bear watching more than once.

Period romance/comedy based (I suspect rather loosely) on Robert Louis Stevenson's unfinished last novel. I'm not sure the book is a comedy, but I haven't read it.
Terrible, but quite enjoyable - mainly because Richard E. Grant and Miranda Richardson over-act magnificently.
As a film, probably 5/10 - but actually more fun than that sounds… best with a glass of wine or two .

Pretentious. Slow. Confusing. Wank.
not impressive...
