How to Have Sex (Manning Walker, 2023)

Shameful and really sad the way so many girls are dragged into shitty first-time experiences like this against their will. Men can be completely amoral sometimes. Great acting and direction.

OJ Simpson is dead.

Good riddance.

These sound great. At least I'll be able to see the one about the sandwich-stall despot on youtube.

Poor Things (Lanthimos, 2023). Big screen.

It's not often you see such magnificent sets and artistic design. Wow. Loved it.

Did you mean 2024?

Oops, yes! Thanks.

Thought you'd escaped me, my pretties?!! aaaaaah haaaa haaa haaa!! :P :lol: Updates since my last post in this thread... https://i.imgur.com/RlwrFyQ.png?9 https://i.imgur.com/khu3DoI.png?10 https://i.imgur.com/TfihRma.png?6 https://i.imgur.com/MlnXjZ6.png?6 https://i.imgur.com/6hokaqr.png?13 https:/...

If the deadline was 6 months longer, I'd probably manage to see a few more 2023 films by then, but so far I haven't managed to see much. I assume other people will have the same problem.

Gods of Tennis ep 3 Navratilova/Evert (Draper, 2023) 8/10 The third and final installment of a wonderful UK series on the huge tennis personalities that defined the 1970s and 80s that are now considered legends. The first ep centred mostly on Jimmy Connors and Arthur Ashe, the first man of colour t...

I'm itching to see it too, but have to wait another 4 weeks for its cinema release here.

First Reformed (Schrader) Ex Libris: The New York Public Library (Wiseman) Get Out (Peele) Good Time (Safdie) One Cut of the Dead (Ueda) Western (Grisebach) BPM (Beats Per Minute) (Campillo) The Meyerowitz Stories (Baumbach) The Day After (Hong) Call Me by Your Name (Guadagnino) Faces Places (Varda...

watched this last week, and glad to see it here; i thought it was strong even in the context of bellocchio's remarkable last few decades. can't help but think he gets overlooked in the english language film world, despite being one of the last of the great older european directors left standing. it...

the novelists film, hong sang-soo

Also one of my fave films seen in 2023.

List your 2024 documentary film watches here.

A big wish is to see the new Wiseman this year, the one about the workings in and around the kitchen of that world-famous restaurant in France, Menus-Plaisirs - Les Troisgros.

Best TV series I watched in 2023: The Bear Season 1 (2022) Shrinking Season 1 (2023) The White Lotus Season 2 (2023) Only Murders in the Building Season 1 (2020) Only Murders in the Building Season 2 (2022) Call My Agent (aka "Dix pour cent") Season 1 (2015) Andor Season1 (2022) Girls and ...

All the Beauty and the Bloodshed (Laura Poitras, 2022) 8/10 - Admittedly, I was kind of sceptical about this film as I don't share the same opinion on various topics with Laura Poitras. However, this artistic documentary just took me by surprise with its intense love for life and its struggles. I j...

A very good year. All of them are first watches. Anything 8/10 or above I very highly recommended - I hope some of you get to see them too. Theroux's docos are mostly dependably good, and sometimes very interesting. 2023 The Last Dance (Hehir, 2020) 10/10 Flee (Rasmussen, 2021) 8/10 Great animated d...

How did I miss this comment and the caps??

Grabbing it now. The misogyny alone is unbelievable.

Mine are all first watches.





ps, sorry for the double entry of Autumn Sonata.

I've been very busy and also lazy about posting this year. But I've still seen some cracker docos!

I'll be back here to rank all of them soon.

Your favorite films that you saw in 2023, regardless of what year they were made.

rischka wrote: ↑Sun Dec 17, 2023 1:34 am pabs you forgot to tell the name of the film (i have also done this)

You certainly have! haha Several times I've had to ask you.

PRIMA FACIE (2022) is the film. National Theatre Live.

Thanks! All updated.

Hey all, I can't seem to find two polls: Jan and Feb of 2023. Did we not conduct a year poll in Jan and Feb this year?

The actress is brilliant and I can't believe a monologue can keep me riveted to my seat for the whole duration! Basically it's the story about this female public defence lawyer from a humble working-class background and how she's raped by an office colleague, a lawyer from a privileged background, a...

Hey, looks like Bill Palmer was right, as usual, and all those polls are indeed wrong. Democrats keep beating Republicans in all the crucial elections. Trust Bill Palmer, rischka. You really need to realise you have nothing to worry about. As long as people like you turn out to vote, the Republicans...
