Out to own today: WATCHER
FAST & FEEL LOVE ★★★★★ Director: Nawapol Thamrongrattanarit. Starring: Nat Kitcharit, Urassaya Sperbund, Anusara Korsamphan, Keetapat Pongruea, Joshua Ugochukwu Ezunagu, Kanokwan Butrachart, Wipawee Patnasiri. A laugh-out-loud metafiction-sports-comedy involving competitive cup stacking. (Though, it's really about falling short as a boyfriend.) My review: http://www.filmaluation.com/fast--feel-love.html  SICK OF MYSELF ★★★★½ Director: Kristoffer Borgli. Starring: Kristine Kujath Thorp, Eirik Sæther, Fanny Vaager, Sarah Francesca Brænne, Fredrik Stenberg Ditlev-Simonsen, Anders Danielsen Lie. An excruciating Norwegian comedy about status. The almost merciless observations on self-obsession/self-awareness/self-worth are tempered by empathy. If it wasn't so funny, this might've been a body horror.   ATLANTA [seasons 1-4] ★★★★★ This is one of the greatest TV shows of all time. A wary, phantasmagorical comedy-drama. It is masterful. The tonal shifts are unusual and unpredictable. Sometimes I watch a series and think what a creative miracle that it exists.  PUSS IN BOOTS: THE LAST WISH ★★★★☆ Directors: Joel Crawford, Januel Mercado. Starring: Antonio Banderas, Salma Hayek, Harvey Guillén, Florence Pugh, Olivia Colman, Ray Winstone, Samson Kayo, Wagner Moura, John Mulaney. I had written off the Shrek movie universe after SHREK 2, but against the odds this delivers in spades: storytelling smarts, action animation, a winning fable, and regular guffaws. From the opening kaiju to Wagner Moura’s intimidating bounty hunter, there is much to relish.   NIGHTMARE ★★☆☆☆ Director: Kjersti Helen Rasmussen. Starring: Eili Harboe, Herman Tømmeraas, Peter Førde, Siri Black Ndiaye, Dennis Storhøi. A generic title for a dull movie. An inept Norwegian horror flick about the trepidation of becoming a parent. Poorly thought through and lazy. Immediate genre warning klaxon for the protagonists: Don't buy an apartment where someone's recent death brought down the value.   |

Noun, “filmaluation”: The evaluation of a film Verb, "to filmaluate”: To evaluate a film I am well aware how difficult it is to make a film, put on a stage play, create a television show, write a novel, let alone make something of note.
