Last Film You Saw

Absolutely loved it! The young boy was brilliant. Great soundtrack too.

The kid was awesome wasn’t he. He was the basis of the whole film and with stars like Judy dench and Ciaran Hinds in it, he absolutely stole the show.

Space Sweepers on Netflix

Light hearted Korean sci-fi

Watched it with the Mrs and 11 year old daughter. So had to watch the english dubbed version.
They both really liked it and I thought it was entertaining and better than a lot of the Hollywood shite around nowadays.

It's about 2hrs 10 mins long and my only gripe was a fair bit of effing & jeffing in the first part of the film.
If it wasnt for this, it would be a half decent 'family' film

7.5/10

Just watched the Power of the Dog on Netflix.

Beautifully shot and a slow paced film and perhaps the exact tone I was after at the moment.

Benedict Cucumberpatch was on fine form & a great supporting cast.

Yeah I really liked it. Slow but creepy and tense.

Same, I was bit dubious by my partner said she like to see it. Really enjoyed it although hit home a lot and I did share a silent tear or two during it as I am from Northern Ireland original and roughly same age as the little boy

"Clean".

I put this in my trailer thread and kept an eye out for its release and I'm so glad I did. They don't make films like this anymore and maybe the genre will return.

Adrien Brody stars and produces this film. I had a feeling he may have directed this film, but his writing partner does, so he may as well have.

It has a few influences (what film doesn't now?) and it almost threatened to lose me 3/4s in, but it got me back and I appreciated the outcome.

For me, it was well worth the wait to watch.

The Firm remake from 2009. Forgot how shit it is in comparison to the original.

That can be said about most remakes, to be fair. You could have a separate thread on here about films that members hope aren't remade.

Parallel Mothers - Almodovar still cracking it. Pity Penelope Cruz gave away the main plot device on Graham Norton (as have some reviewers), but it's the bits after that really give the breath-catching moments. And a postscript about excavating the graves of the Civil War disappeared (100,000 of them).

Plus Del Toro's latest, Nightmare Alley. Not quite as strange as Pan's Labyrinth and The Shape of Water, but nicely creep.

The Father
Amazing performance by Hopkins but with two family members in the throes of dementia it was too light touch to reflect reality for me I think.
