The Sisters Brothers is definitely worth checking out (one of my favs of the year and imo the trailer doesn't do it justice & is kinda misleading)
As for me, I still need to see Mandy . I have a feeling I'd really like it. Oh and Galveston (if that is even considered a 2018 film )

I don't see a lot at the cinemas these days.
Have Mandy on DVD and hope to watch it later this week.
Hoping Roma is still playing next week and I can get to that at the cinema. The Favourite opens after Christmas so will almost definitely be able to catch that on the big screen.
Buster Scruggs, You Were Never Really Here and The House That Jack Built will probably have to wait now.

Really liked The Lobster and The Killing of A Scared Deer.

I recently missed Can you ever forgive me? and Sisters Brothers at theaters as well. i saw all the films named in this thread and as you probably know, think all of those were great, especially sisters brothers are really worth checking out. but i did miss a few this year as well. A Private War and the Wife. Both I need to see because both will most likely be oscar nom contenders. the sad part is they were in the cinemas just last week and i prioritized wrong, thinking they will still be here this week. stupid mistake.

How would you rate/rank the six films I mention in my post above? I just watched Mandy. It started of well, beautiful visuals and a subtle slow-burn anti-narrative but once the story kicked in started to devolve a bit, the cheesy grotesque taking away from the established mood. There was some truly stunning imagery but it was a little inconsistent for my liking. All in all, still one of the more enjoyable films I've seen from this year. The ultimate heavy metal film, an 80s slasher revenge film directed by someone with a Refn obsession but lacking his discipline 7/10

I know what you mean. There are still a lot of movies that I wanted to see from this year as well, including some of the holiday releases and The Favorite.
Roma is definitely worth a watch!

I recently missed Can you ever forgive me? and Sisters Brothers at theaters as well. Can You Ever Forgive Me? is "pretty good" in my view, meaning above-average yet less than a full-fledged "good" movie. The film is amusing and also offers legitimate intrigue and drama, but the tone seems a bit too light and breezily comedic given the rather dark and troubling subject matter. I deem The Sisters Brothers "pretty good/good." It is visually sumptuous, with excellent location shooting and some stirring outdoor compositions. And the material is quirky and dark—one feels the impact of the violence thanks to the visual staging and sound mixing. But the film attempts to be humorous, only to rarely prove funny. And it strives to create tension, yet rarely does it feel tense. The result is an intriguing Western, but one that is not entirely satisfying (for me, at least).

A Private War and the Wife. Both I need to see because both will most likely be oscar nom contenders. the sad part is they were in the cinemas just last week and i prioritized wrong, thinking they will still be here this week. stupid mistake. A Private War is "good," in my view, as it focuses on character and creates a poignant mix of human courage and human foibles. And Marie Colvin's summary of what war is really about—and how it should actually be covered in the media—is profound and almost inarguable. The movie is rather engrossing and maintains a legitimate sense of tension, but the score and the editing give the film a fairly conventional feel— A Private War is not as organic as it should be. The Wife is "pretty good" in my opinion, meaning that it is above-average yet worse than A Private War. The performances, especially by Glenn Close and Jonathan Pryce, give the film its outstanding features and elevate it somewhat. Otherwise, the movie is mediocre, both for its gratuitously pandering shots and editing (reminiscent of last year's terribly overrated Darkest Hour in those senses) and its underdeveloped backstory, which makes for unconvincing and forced present-moment melodrama. In other words, the narrative feels somewhat implausible, and overall, The Wife functions as a less integral or essential version of the superior 45 Years from 2015. In short, both A Private War and The Wife are worth seeing, and A Private War is certainly a successful film aesthetically. But outside of some possible acting nominations, neither should remotely be considered an Oscar contender.

I saw Mid90s twice—it is a "great" film, easily one of the year's best and unforgettable in its rawness and irony. As a poignant and profoundly unconventional coming-of-age story, it is similar to the brilliant Moonlight from two years ago, only with a near-documentary style as opposed to a surrealistic one. I did not bother with Papillon, mainly because I did not have the chance to go back and review the original first. (I viewed the original Papillon on Turner Classic Movies circa January 2005 and considered it excellent, but I would have wanted to see it again before trying this remake.)

I've seen the original but it was years ago so I can't really make an honest comparison, but I thought the most recent one was good but could have been better.

The Favourite opens after Christmas so will almost definitely be able to catch that on the big screen. Buster Scruggs, You Were Never Really Here and The House That Jack Built will probably have to wait now. 'You Were Never Really Here' is definitely worth watching, but honestly, I am still a little confused as to what was real and what wasn't.

At the conclusion him and the girl both left together to start over as well. By the way scorpios hitting home runs this year.

I read a review somewhere that suggested that most of what happened was in his head. That's why I'm confused. Scorpios? What's that?

Regarding Scorpios- Hawke, Phoenix, and Collette are all scorpios lol. Anyways Its an interesting interpretation, especially if you take the diner scene as a fantasy as well.
