"No child left behind"
What can I even say to describe how much I loved Hunt for the Wilderpeople! Taika Waititi has a real 'knack' for taking on heavy topics, but leaving you feeling light, maybe he should have his own genre named after him...you've outdone yourself!
I'm going to start with the beautiful scenery that HftW showcased, it was almost like a character in itself. It's no wonder so much of the world thinks NZ is some magical make-believe…
Wow...
What a great job László Nemes and his team did with Son of Saul. A film about the Sonderkommando was never going to be easy, you might think, any film about the Holocaust won't be easy, but the topic Sonderkommando takes it to a whole new level of awful.
Not only were these men imprisoned like the rest of the camp detainees, but they were the poor souls who were forced to keep people calm as they undressed before…
They really don't make movies like this anymore do they? Well, not very often anymore.
We were discussing it afterwards and it really does this perfect job of creating the same feeling one gets from a nightmare, a real sense of fear and it's so unsettling.
Such a classic and it always be.
This is such a huge improvement on the sequel, I don't know why it doesn't get more love.
The cast is pretty solid with a good mix of ethnicity, though another women would have been even better. The concept was cool and well executed. It looks nice. It's a good movie.
Wasn't overly fond of Goggins' character, particularly that scene where he talks about raping women, but I reckon that's the only stand out problem for me.
Overall, it's a fun ride.
It took me weeks to build myself up to watch this. I knew that it was going to give me the feels, but I knew it would be amazing, I just couldn't bring myself to watch it.
I finally did two weekends ago. I've recently been studying slavery and I thought at the end of reading about it for 5 hours, that I would be sufficiently ready for it, that my skin would have gotten a bit thicker to take…
"There's been an awakening. Have you felt it? The Dark side, and the Light."
First of all, there's no spoilers in here whatsoever!
After my first watch of Episode 7, I must say I am over the moon with what J.J. Abrams has done with the franchise! It was fresh, fun, action packed and there was just the right amount of old and new put together!
Fucking brilliant! I can't wait to see it again and write a fuller review…
