Pete is far from the first movie of its
kind the genuine performances since
you’re writing an atmospheric nature
shot set it apart from the rest of the
crowd despite being a big hit at the
Venice Film Festival the film’s
theatrical run sadly went by faster than
the Kentucky Derby you can’t think of
them as pets a year to race and nothing
else
number nine disobedience was expecting
you
directors Sebastiano illios previous
picture a fantastic woman won the Oscar
for Best Foreign Language Film
his first english-language film is
another engaging lgbtq+ related drama
with two magnetic performances at the
center Rachel vice stars as a woman
who’s exiled from her Orthodox Jewish
community but reenters the fold with the
passing of her stranged father why else
would I be here matters become
increasingly complex as she reconnects
with a married woman played by Rachel
McAdams who has been repressing her true
feelings both Rachel’s deliver some of
their best work as a pair of women torn
between society and sexuality their
on-screen relationship easily could have
come off as gimmicky but instead emerges
as a deeply personal love story to take
a picture
[Music]
throughout history a long string of
heartbreak and misfortune has loomed
over the Kennedy family
the 1969 Chappaquiddick incident is one
tragedy that’s rarely discussed in
popular culture however the
underappreciated Jason Clarke portrays
Ted Kennedy who derailed his chances of
being president after causing a car
accident that claimed the life of Mary
Jo Kopechne II the filmmakers aren’t
afraid to depict Kennedy in an
unflattering light which might be why
the studio was pressured by some very
powerful people not to release the
picture in the end though the film
offers a glimpse behind the curtain at
one of the Kennedy family’s darkest and
most infamous hours that shouldn’t be
overlooked I just don’t know who I am
number seven the endless I was told that
they were all going to kill themselves
and that’s why we left the home
directors Justin Benson and Erin
Moorhead previously brought us the 2012
horror film resolution in the endless
which takes place in the same universe
as their debut picture the filmmaking
duo played two brothers who were once
part of a UFO death cult upon returning
to the cults camp years later their
brothers find themselves caught in an
endless loop where things are more
complicated than they seem just thought
we’d visit while you’re here you’re
always here a bit like the master meets
Groundhog Day this is a surreal and
hypnotic trip down the rabbit hole that
frequently catches the audience
off-guard as strangers matters get
however Vincent and moorhens dynamic
remains usually relatable number six
American animals
dollarz you really need to see how easy
this is gonna be with echoes of
Reservoir Dogs and various Coen Brothers
movies this true crime story chronicles
a caper gone horribly wrong Evan Peters
berrak young like Jenna and Jared
Abrahamson all turn in strong work as
for college students who conspired to
steal some priceless books from
Transylvania University although the
plan appears foolproof it quickly
becomes apparent that these kids are in
way over their heads this would be
something dangerous and very exciting
the film additionally features
appearances from the real-life people
involved in the heist at times giving
American animals the essence of a
documentary intense darkly humorous and
fresh in its approach to the popular
genre the film serves as a cautionary
tale for privileged views who want
instant gratification can’t please in a
touch come on oh thanks
number 5 revenge after being raped and
left for dead
a young woman trucks across a merciless
desert while exacting vengeance on her
attackers with a grim premise like this
it’s not surprising that revenge barely
grossed over $100,000 at the domestic
box office given its graphic violence
and occasionally gratuitous nature this
one isn’t for the faint of heart
however it’s by no means an exploitation
flick or snuff film between khojali
Fallujah stylish direction and Matilda
Lutz’s compelling lead performance
this is a bold bloody and empowering
film that rings especially true on the
heels of the me2 and times up movements
for those who can handle the more brutal
moments it’ll definitely leave an
impression ahead clean
number four First Reformed I have
decided to keep a journal to set down
all my thoughts and the simple offense
of my day this understated drama comes
from writer director Paul Schrader
the same man who scripted taxi driver
and the Last Temptation of Christ first
reformed chairs numerous other parallels
to those affer mentioned films centering
on a troubled Reverend searching for a
higher purpose did you see the doctor
you need someone to take care of you I
want you to be happy
Ethan Hawke gives one of his best
performances as earns taller who’s
driven to take drastic measures on a
mission to save the world God blesses us
with well somebody has to do something
while the film has a strong
environmental message at its core First
Reformed functions more as a character
study about a man constantly coming up
empty-handed in a search for answers
speaking of answers the ambiguous ending
is sure to inspire plenty of debates
amongst movie goers number three Howie
you’ll note this dark comedy reunites
director Jason Reitman screenwriter
Diablo Cody and actress Charlize their
own who all produced their finest work
in years their own stars as Marlowe an
exhausted mother of two with a third on
the way Marlowe is eventually convinced
to hire a nanny named Tully played by
rising star Mackenzie Davis who might
recognize from Blade Runner 2049 and
Black Mirror the mother and nanny soon
begin to develop a friendship that takes
them and the audience to some highly
unexpected places you convince your this
failure do you actually meet your
biggest dream come true
while telly can feel a bit out there at
times it’s spot on representation of
parenthood is bound to resonate with
anyone who’s experienced the hardships
of raising kids I’m just not used to
people doing things for me number two
unsane I know that this is my neuroses
colluding with my imagination to
manifest my worst fears Claire Foy rose
to prominence with her refined
performance as Elizabeth the second on
the crown unsane finds the English
actress in a completely different kind
of role as an ordinary woman who
suddenly locked up in a mental hospital
the plot only thickens when she realizes
one of the staff members looks just like
the man who’s been stalking her he would
want us to be together like any great
psychological thriller unsane keeps the
audience guessing whether this woman is
truly losing her mind or if everyone
else around her is insane the fact that
director Steven Soderbergh shot the
entire film on an iPhone 7 plus only
adds to the claustrophobic tension
making us feel trapped inside an
enclosed area miss Valentina are you
refusing to cooperate what happens if I
do number one you are never really here
Michael he wants to see you right away
2018 has been a great year for the
thriller genre and an even better year

the Scottish director Lynn Ramsay

who makes a living rescuing young
victims of human trafficking the movie
gained a great deal of buzz after an
unfinished version was shown at the 70th
can Film Festival where it received a
seven-minute standing ovation
smooshy there I’ll get her I’ll ask you
