FREE SOLO (Elizabeth Chai Vasarhelyi & Jimmy Chin, 2018) ~ An excellent documentary on world-renowned rock climber Alex Honnold, detailing what could be the most mind-blowing feat in modern human history—his ambition and determination to climb a 300-storey high natural rock wall… with no safety rope. @alexhonnold @jimmychin @chaivasarhelyi #freesolo #alexhonnold #jimmychin #elizabethchaivasarhelyi #documentary #bestdocumentary #oscars2019 #rockclimbing #inspiring #mindblowing Full review in my bio link!
COLD WAR (Pawel Pawlikowski, 2018) ~ Well-crafted with dazzling black-and-white cinematography, and certainly a film to appreciate, but it is emotionally vacuous. #coldwar #pawelpawlikowski #poland #polishcinema #cannesfilmfestival #oscars2019 #bestforeignlanguagefilm #bestdirector #bestcinematography #drama #romance #music Full review in my bio link!
THE FAVOURITE (Yorgos Lanthimos, 2018) ~ By turns visually ravishing and psychologically perverse, this salacious and morbidly hilarious period drama strangely doesn’t quite amount to anything significant. #thefavourite #yorgoslanthimos #oliviacolman #emmastone #rachelweisz #venicefilmfestival #bestactress #grandjuryprize #oscars #oscars2019 #uk #drama #comedy
VOX LUX (Brady Corbet, 2018) ~ Rightfully flashy and stylistic, this Natalie Portman acting vehicle ultimately feels uneven and disorientating. #voxlux #natalieportman #bradycorbet #judelaw #stacymartin #willemdafoe #venicefilmfestival #drama #music #popstar #celebrity #violence #trauma #sgiff2018
MANTA RAY (Phuttiphong Aroonpheng, 2018) ~ A social realist work that blends uniquely with a kind of meditative elegy, this rather strong Thai debut feature also features one of the great soundscapes of the year. #mantaray #phuttiphongaroonpheng #thaicinema #thailand #venicefilmfestival #elegy #sound #sounddesign #cinematography #rohingya #identity #drama #sgiff2018
HAPPY AS LAZZARO (Alice Rohrwacher, 2018) ~ Rohrwacher is surely one of the most exciting directors working today, delivering a truly mesmerising and thematically-dense work of art. #happyaslazzaro #alicerohrwacher #bestscreenplay #cannesfilmfestival #italiancinema #sgiff2018 #art #spiritual #drama #goodness
