To save polluting the TV thread, I thought I'd start a thread for the films we've seen this year.
I saw A Real Pain the other day and it's a really nicely put together piece by Jesse Eisenberg. It unpeels like an onion, with each layer getting closer to the central pint. Good film.
Babygirl could have been so much better. Nicole Kidman does well but it all feels a bit 'off'.
Rewatched Anatomy of a Fall the other day - brilliant. |  |

went to see Bugonia last night...
Purposely kept away from the reviews as it obviously has a lot to live up to after the amazing 'Poor thing' by director Yorgos Lanthimos and main protagonist, Emma Stone.
It's a fantastic, surreal plotline that toys with the recent covid type conspiracies with Jesse Plemmons playing a you tube educated theorist ably assisted by his impressionable autistic cousin, who believes the world is being run by aliens.
It goes down some very dark holes and demonstrates the underbelly of america's detached outsiders, whilst questioning the motives of big pharma.
The repartee between Stone and Plemmons is superb and almost effortless, as they take turns to switch the power base of their situation.
Thoroughly enjoyable, if a little predictable towards the end - a strong 8/10 for me. |
Bugonia is really enjoyable and Plemmons and Stone are outstanding - didn't realise Mom was Alicia Silverstone.
Predicted the twist but still entertaining. | |

Which previous Lanthimos film is it most comparable to? I've really enjoyed some of his stuff (Sacred Deer, Dog Tooth, Lobster) but also found some of his stuff quite boring (Poor Things, Favourite). |  | | |

I'm terms of mood, probably Dogtooth, but it is it's own film.
Sisu Road to Revenge is brilliantly good fun. | |

The new Running Man is very good - Edgar Wright is a great director. | |

One Battle After Another is very good. Maybe a little too long. Reminded me of No Country For Old Men. |  |

Thanks to those who recommended One Battle After Another. Hadn't really been aware of it but went to see it because everyone seemed to rate it highly and really enjoyed it.
Saw Nuremberg recently. Enjoyed the psychological drama between the two leads and overall thought it was very good. However, there is some real concentration camp footage shown in the middle of the film as part of the trial evidence which was really difficult to watch. |  | | |

Just caught this. Agree, it's fairly engaging and good fun, although could probably do with being 20 minutes shorter, it did start to drag somewhere in the second act. Emma Stone and Jesse Plemons are great. It captures something contemporary about the demise of objective reality, loss of faith in institutions etc. Although I've not yet seen it I can imagine this makes a good double bill with Eddington from what I've heard. People have talked about the "rug pull" ending, but agreed, I think you can see where it's going to an extent. | | | |

I watched it yesterday and liked it too. Emma Stone and Jessie Plemons were excellent in it. I can't imagine watching it ever again but it was good.
Third film I've watched recently that had a tag of 'comedy' on it and absolutely wasn't. |  |
