Typist Artist Pirate King (2023) - biopic of Audrey Amiss with a very effective portrayal of her paranoid schizophrenia.
The Creator (2023) - looked great but totally predictable and unoriginal.
A Field in England (2013) - surreal, low-key folk horror with some memorable BW cinematography.
Oppenheimer (2023) - powerful and great performances, but it could have been just as effective with 20 minutes cut IMHO.
The Miracle Club (2023) - nothing outstanding here, but a solidly told tale of forgiveness.
Lair of the White Worm (1988) - as messily uneven as ever. Amanda Donahue seemed to know what ~~Loach~~ Russell was aiming for. Not sure about anyone else.
Sounds like I might skip The Creator.
A Field in England is great. I really enjoyed the cinematography too.
The Creator is visually spectacular - don't underestimate that - but don't expect anything interesting from the plot.
I fully agree. I put it off and finally watched it. It is beautiful and visually interesting. They really made the best of that budget.
The story is nothing new and the tone is inconsistent at times but certainly worth a watch.
Good to know. Tthe trailer made it look pretty good but if the narrative is pedestrian then it might be a bit of an empty experience.
Do you mean Russell? Not Loach. I found Altered States a bit uneven but the Devils was superb
Yes - I do!
Oh yes, The Devils was excellent, as was Tommy - so much anger captured in that one.
Will have to check Tommy, been on my watchlist for a while
