Every awards season there's an influx of films that strive to be the best, some are far too obvious in being awards bait that they are soon forgotten however, there are a select few that have a power to them that ensures they stand the test of time and live long in the history books of cinema. Judas and the Black Messiah is that film this year and a…
There's always just something so appealing watching a film about bad people doing bad things to one another. I Care a Lot well and truly fits into that camp as a black comedy from J Blakeson with plenty of bite and attitude.
