Yours:
Downsizing 7.5/10
Yeah, it's too long, but I liked it. The trailers were literally just the first 20 minutes or so, I'm not sure if it was to avoid spoilers or what, but, yeah, it was weird.
The Silence of the Lambs 10/10
Yep, classic, indeed.
Mine:
Shoplifters 9/10
The movie that won Cannes this year. It's about a poor family in Japan who gets by with thefts and swindles, who take under their wing a little girl who's neglected and beaten up by her parents and they form a real family bond with her. Really loved it, I found it very sad and human, the cast is fantastic.
One from the Heart 7.5/10
It's Francis Ford Coppola movie, about a couple living in Vegas who broke up one night, and each live up their own adventure. It's a musical, I like it, though it kind of needed a better script, IMO. Visually, it's really something though.
Village of the Damned (1960) 7.5/10
The original with George Sanders. I hadn't seen it before, I liked it more than the remake, especially the second half.
Roman J. Israel, Esq. 7/10
The movie with Denzel Washington, about an attorney dedicated to civil rights who finds himself in trouble when his practice goes bankrupt. It's O.K, it's well made, it feels a bit too bland maybe. It's from the same director who did Nightcrawler, I prefer that one.
Low viewing for me this week, My partner and I split so I spent all week moving house, carload by carload.. So it will just be me doing the reviews and responses instead of both of us as she is taking a break.. I have been doing more and more of the thread responses and reviews last couple of years anyways. Hopefully get back to a reasonable amount of viewings soon, when i get my tv set up at the new place.
YOURS
Shoplifters - cool, sounds interesting
One from the Heart - I find this one pretty underseen and underrated 7.5/10
Village of the Damned (1960) Love me some George Sanders 6/10
