The way this works is that you post a review of the best film you saw last week. It doesn't have to be a new release, just any film you have seen over the last seven days that you feel is worth talking about. Here are some rules.
1. Check to see if your favourite film of last week has been posted already. If so, please reply to that comment instead of making a new thread.
2. Please post your favourite film of last week.
3. NO TV SHOWS! Discuss David Lynch's Riverdale somewhere else.
4. ALWAYS use spoiler tags. Report any comments that spoil recent / little-known films (e.g. Rogue One, La La Land, Split) without using the spoiler tag.
5. Comments that only contain the title of the film will be removed!
Here are some examples of good comments from last week's thread:
-
NOTTING HILL ( 1999 ) Charming comedy / bittersweet love story of two people at crossroads in their lives. JULIA ROBERTS plays the BIGGEST movie star in the world, who meets travel book shop owner HUGH GRANT. Their different backgrounds and histories put strains and heartbreak in the relationship. Well performed by all. No big laughs, just lots of insight and terrific chemistry by the two leads. 7/10

Loving - the last movie of critically acclaimed director jeff Nichols. The movie was pretty great, both Ruth Negga and Joel Edgerton give great, well-rounded and extremely convincing performances. The movie follows the Loving couple from Virginia that was responsible for the SCOUS decision to ban the criminalization of inter-racial marriages. Sometimes you're just baffled that some laws existed, were widely accepted (15 other states has relatively similar laws at the date of the Supreme Court decision) and that it was only 50 years ago. The pace of the movie is rather slow, there's only the beautiful relationship between the two protagonists that is put to the test again and again by an absolutely insane law, the effects of said law and the general consensus of people around them(friends and family that did not believe that their marriage was necessary). There's not much else to say about the movie, I loved it and I think it should serve as a reminder that quite often regular people are captive in absurd laws and regulations. As a stray observation both Ruth Negga and Joel Edgerton are not american actors, but they star in a movie about an american supreme court decision that changed laws throughout the US. I love that Michael Shannon did appear in the movie, making it 5 in a row with Jeff Nichols. At this point I haven't seen a Jeff Nichols movie that I did not like, be it about apocalyptic visions or US supreme courts decisions, the man knows how to bring emotion, vulnerability and has a knack of building convincing characters that are nuanced and complex.

20th Century Women There's an undercurrent of sadness in Mike Mills' celebration of his mother. It's almost surreal to hear narration from characters aware they die twenty years after the film, but it demonstrates that there are things we know and things we understand and they aren't necessarily the same. A coming of age story for all characters as the knell of the Carter administration rings out and no-one knows that Reagan is coming. They all think they understand how men and women should act, but none of them know who they really are. Despite this, each character is played with conviction and one of the year's biggest pop culture crimes is Annette Bening not being nominated at the Oscars.

Have fun and play nice!
