I watched F1, and since it was a Jerry Bruckheimer production, I knew what to expect: formulaic Hollywood, complete with a 5-minute video montage, an evil looking villain, a gruff-comeback-kid who does things his own way, a young turk who can't be taught any lessons, a loyal "tough-love" friend who accords a second chance to the protagonist. Etc. It was a 2-hour long commercial about F1 and UAE, embedded with more product-placements than any other film in history. It wasn't bad, just massively predictable with unsubtle over-the-top production.

Think I'll give that one a miss then
 
Here's how I rank them

1) Bugonia - incredible premise and well executed. Just give Yorgos the Oscar he deserves
2) Marty Supreme - A less anxiety inducing hellscape than Uncut Gems. Chalomet is fantastic.
3) OBAA - I love PTA and this film was very good. Shows how good my top 2 are
4) Train Dreams - The missus' favourite. Beautiful film.
5) Sinners - A better version of From Dusk Til Dawn
6) Frankenstein - Meh. Excellent production design

Haven't seen the others yet

20 years from now everyone will realize should have had 5+ nominations including Best Picture - Eddington

Watched Bull (2nd time) a couple of days ago, so searched it on here to see if anyone had seen it, some had which led me to Kill List, which I’ve watched this evening. Thought Bull was excellent, although I’d hoped that Bull knew he was about to be killed and had someone ready to take his place in caravan as the the supernatural ending was no good for me. Kill List, for what it is was alright, but the ending made no sense, a PTS suffering guy accepting he’d just killed his own son to join a weird cult.

For a low budget film both Bull and Kill List carry a massive punch, with a performance from Neil Maskell in both to rival Paddy Considine in Dead Mans Shoes.

Both films really gave me the creeps, which is solely down to the performances of Maskell.

He’s great. Bull should’ve found a way to explain how he’d survived the caravan. I didn’t understand the ending to Kill List. He just seemed to accept what his wife did to him.
