#DailyStream: the West Bank we don’t see on the news. Oscar-nominated 2012 doc #5BrokenCameras is a distressing portrait of everyday Palestinian life, where kids’ birthday parties are the same sort of ordinary events as Israeli soldiers arresting children. #Kanopy US, #BFIPlayer UK

#DailyStream: desperate women, desperate measures. Courtney Hunt’s 2008 film #FrozenRiver, with an incredible Melissa Leo, straddles moralities, gender motivations, and ideas of poverty and despair in such a way that you’re not sure, by the end, what’s “right” and what isn’t. #Hulu US, #BFIPlayer UK

The #DailyStream becomes the #DailyScream for spooky season! Today: meta horror about how scary movies infect us. 2021's ambiguous, introspective #Censor examines on multiple levels how we digest horror movies, and how they linger with us. #Kanopy #Hulu US, #BFIPlayer #CurzonHomeCinema UK

The #DailyStream becomes the #DailyScream for spooky season! Today: the movie that made a screening room full of critics whimper. 2005’s #TheDescent makes you wanna pull your legs up onto the seat lest something hideous reach out from underneath and grab your ankles. #Max US, #Prime UK

I wrote a review! First one in months! It's not one of the movies that everyone is talking about right now, but those are coming soon, promise! It's Ukrainian animated fantasy #Mavka, in UK cinemas now, coming to streaming in the US in August. https://www.flickfilosopher.com/2023/07/mavka-the-forest-song-movie-review-the-dark-of-the-woods-comes-too-late.html

I can't believe that #Sinners is already on #PVOD (on both sides of the Atlantic). It deserves to be seen on a big screen, but I know that's not possible for everyone. Please see this movie however you can. It's important, but it's also hugely entertaining. https://www.flickfilosopher.com/2025/05/sinners-movie-review-bootleg-vampires.html

The tremendous #LeeMovie is now on premium #VOD #PVOD in the US, if you're looking for something to watch tonight. Starring goddess #KateWinslet, and also #AndySamberg (!) in a surprising and badass dramatic turn. My 🟢 review: https://www.flickfilosopher.com/2024/09/lee-movie-review-the-things-she-saw-and-the-way-she-saw-them.html

Lily James and Shazad Latif? Delightful, even when they’re not together and sparking. No surprise where they’re going, but amiable rom-com #WhatsLoveGotToDoWithIt gets them there with genuine smarts and real sentiment. My review: https://www.flickfilosopher.com/2023/05/whats-love-got-to-do-with-it-movie-review-the-boy-next-door-and-a-world-away.html [#PVOD UK, US cinemas Fri]

The #DailyStream becomes the #DailyScream for spooky season! Today: gnaw your own arm off, why don’t you? Like James Franco, basically, in 2010’s #127Hours. This is far more distressing to me than any science-fiction body-horror nightmare, because it actually happened. #Prime US, #DisneyPlus UK

So, @Vimeo just asked me for age verification. (I'm 56, BTW.) This is gonna fuck with a LOT of filmmakers, PRs, and studios sharing their films with critics for review. #EverythingIsBroken #FuckThisShit #FilmCriticProblems

Swear to fucking Christ, every fucking goddamn thing is broken. #EverythingIsBroken

Imagine a world in which shit just works.

Just had to enact my first block on Mastodon.

How the hell is @Netflix so bad at PR? There's an #TheOldGuard 2? And it's already streaming? First I heard of it was from a reader... but I reviewed (very positively!) the first film, which I heard about from a publicist. How was I not on a list to learn about the new one?! https://www.flickfilosopher.com/2020/07/the-old-guard-movie-review-saving-the-world-one-century-at-a-time-netflix.html

#CuratedCinema: a quarter of a century later, a movie that we can now see as a drama about climate-change. 2000’s #ThePerfectStorm is on @paramountplus in the US, @primevideouk in the UK (and other services too).

#BlueJean is a powerful, necessary film, deeply humane and sympathetic, ugly-beautiful in its panic, full of dread and bad behavior. We feel every iota of Jean’s anxiety at closeted life in the homophobic 1980s.

#DailyStream: attend a delightfully nasty little soiree with Cillian Murphy (and others). If three hours of Cillian Murphy in #Oppenheimer wasn’t enough, catch him (and an incredible ensemble) in modern drawing-room farce #TheParty. @Kanopy US @BFIPlayer @CurzonCinemas at home UK
