  Coma 2022

  ★★★½ Watched 19 Dec 2024

  This may be the definitive lockdown film. Surreal. Unnerving and downright frightening in places. And yet for all its strangeness, if you went through the pandemic in a house with teenagers, it feels precise and fully recognizable.

  Sergeant York 1941

  ★★★½ Watched 26 Aug 2020

  Remarkable to see a film made in this era that genuinely engaged with the issue of religious based pacifism vs duty to country.  The debate is not deep and the conversion scene is a bit over the top, but the film takes the question seriously.  The solemn gravity of Cooper makes it work.
