I quite liked this. A very different film, funny in the first half, bleak in the second. The metaphor isn’t exactly subtle, but it was at least original.
But yeah, will divide opinion, some will hate this.

One of those films you want to recommend but know you will be classed as a weirdo by half the people you mention it to

Watched "onward" yesterday, it was alright. It was like that Netflix film with Will Smith "Bright" but made by pixar, so animated and more child friendly.

I was just thinking exactly the same thing as I was reading these posts. Makes my top 5 films list.
Watched Almost Famous last night. I'd forgotten what a great film this is too. Loved the soundtrack which was the music I grew up to in my early teens. Frances McDormand gave one of her usual brilliant performances, but Kate Hudson stole the show for me. Apart from being absolutely stunning (even when throwing up) I thought she played her part to perfection. Shame she became typecast in Romcom films
Knives Out
Very good Agatha Christie type whodunnit which keeps you guessing to the end having already told you everything.
Much made of Daniel Craig's accent but Michael Shannon not being very Michael Shannon was the thing that surprised me. Heard a tale that there's going to be a second Knives Out but Daniel Craig's character will have a completely different accent and the film just won't acknowledge it.

Nightcrawler?, total pants?....Oh My!

deconstructed rep
You like it? Not for me...all 3 films had the same things in common: slow, dire, depressing, predictable with unlikeable/uninteresting/stupid characters.
Jake Gyllenhall: his acting is just too...acting. Too obvious he's trying really hard to have presence yet not getting anywhere, and he often seems to do these weird shallow character studies. Donnie Darko was good. But Zodiac, Enemy and now Nightcrawlers have really made me deprioritise his films. We still have Prisoners and Source Code in our hefty DVD collection to watch...they're back of the pile for now.
I reckon after the many disappointments of modern films i've watched lately (also including Ghost Stories, Rise of Skywalker, Hugo, Million Dollar Baby, Annihilation) it's time for a nice long phase of watching 20th-century classics.
Got a delivery in of cult flicks like Rashomon, Tokyo Story, The Wrong Man, The Mirror (Tarkovsky), Network, Sorcerer, Kafka (Jeremy Irons), The Bear, The Mission (De Niro), Lifeboat, Kes, Aguirre...looking forward now to delving into cinema history as the 21st-century efforts largely don't appear to be doing it for me. Zeitgeist be damned.

I think Nightcrawler is a cracking film, 7.5/8 out of 10 all day long for me.
Yikes D, some mental calls there. Loved Nightcrawler and A Quiet Place, though I imagine the latter is far more effective in the cinema
Watched Sleepers again last night. One of my favourite films.
Watched ‘In Time’ the other night, really enjoyed it
