    The Six Triple Eight

    ★★½

    I don't know, I guess I'm happy to get a break from some of the more dour Oscar fare, but I'm endlessly frustrated at having to watch mediocre movies because of whatever ironclad Faustian bargain Dianne Warren has made to get nominated every. single. year.

    I just...it was infuriatingly bad. It gets half a star 'cause Johnny Flynn and Marc Maron put in good performances despite it all
    I have no idea who this movie is for, if you're a Bowie fan you'll probably be angry at the complete lack of Bowie songs ('cause the estate wouldn't grant them access), if you don't know anything about Bowie, you'll come out not knowing a whole lot more than you did at the start.
    We only watched…

    A beautiful debut from Caroline Monnet, with great performances from the whole cast, especially Devry Jacobs, as Mani. As well as stunning cinematography of the cold beauty of a Canadian winter.

    A quiet but powerful look at the courage it takes to stand your ground and stand up to the misogyny and patriarchal views that permeate village culture in India.
