A singular portrait of a girl full of verve and personality. #Scrapper is an astonishing feature debut from Charlotte Regan, with a film as cheeky and imaginative, as pleasantly messy and chaotic, as its heroine. My review: https://www.flickfilosopher.com/2023/08/scrapper-movie-review-girlhood-interrupted.html [cinemas US/UK]

#DailyStream: TFW a film is incredibly depressing but honestly really great, too. You know that lost-at-sea feeling that seems to pervade the entire zeitgeist right now? The 2016 heist drama #HellOrHighWater captures that in a way that’s ugly but also beautiful. On #Hulu US, new on #Netflix UK.

#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

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

#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
