Is it still quirky and entertaining enough but it was a mixed bag of movie genres for his or hers and had no lasting depth anymore?

I watched "Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri". Great movie and one of the best I have seen in a long time. Not what I expected.


Really?

It's a bad year for cinema if that wins best picture IMHO.
After what won last year, it's a better movie. Not for everyone but I liked it. I just watched "Last Flag Flying", three ex Vietnam vets come together to bury one of their sons who was killed in action.

Reckon Lady Bird might get the nod this year. Good combination of an underdog film, directed by a woman with a strong female lead (‘tis the zeitgeist, and the academy are nothing if not virtue signallers) and apparently pretty good. I haven’t seen Three Billboards, but it sounds like it’s trying a little too hard from what I’ve read about it. Call Me by Your Name would be a deserving winner – been a while since a film I actually liked won (I’m not holding my breath!)

Blade Runner has to be one of the most overrated movies of all time.

I liked Lady Bird. But 3 Billboards is better. I, Tonya is probably better too.

I don't know how I feel about Call Me By Your Name. It confused me.

I couldn't work out if it was meant to be a lovely coming of age love story, or an inappropriate relationship.

If it helps, in the book their ages are 17 and 24 (though Oliver looked a good decade older than that in the film). I didn’t feel the film glossed over those issues – Oliver is cautious and worried about hurting Elio – but it seemed very clear to me that this is very much what Elio wants, and that it is a positive formative experience for him. That’s not to say that nobody could possibly have any legitimate ethical problems with the relationship, but I think that Call Me by Your Name, like any good film, presents things realistically enough that viewers are free to draw their own conclusions.

Hehehe

Just watched Dunkirk, hubby’s choice, I’m ashamed to say I had no idea about this amazing story. Well done not overly gory, sad, happy, proud to be a Pom! Such brave brave ordinary civilians.
