Film 2025 17:13 - Jan 10 with 20043 views | E17hoop | To save polluting the TV thread, I thought I'd start a thread for the films we've seen this year. I saw A Real Pain the other day and it's a really nicely put together piece by Jesse Eisenberg. It unpeels like an onion, with each layer getting closer to the central pint. Good film. Babygirl could have been so much better. Nicole Kidman does well but it all feels a bit 'off'. Rewatched Anatomy of a Fall the other day - brilliant. |  |

Film 2025 on 20:21 - Mar 4 with 1209 views | Toast_R | Watched The Substance last night. Quite like Margaret Qually in The Maid series but this was completely left field from that. Proper nuts along the lines Being John Malkovic. Quite enjoyed it but I think you need to be one some pretty strong stuff to fully embrace the whole picture. Demi Moore was great in it.

Film 2025 on 09:21 - Mar 19 with 703 views | robith | I watched The Electric State but was gutted to discover it wasn't anywhere near as bad as people made it out to be? Just a 5/10 Sunday night popcorn film? Is it being review bombed by neckbeards or something Edit: I looked up the infamous rotten tomatoes score and it seems audiences are more generous to it than critics so it's one of those [Post edited 19 Mar 9:23]

Just watched it last night and agree. Its ok. Certainly not as bad as some reviews state. The Gorge also is better than I thought it would be. |  |

And it's about 30 minutes too long. |  |

Saw a trailer for The Gorge, thought it looked interesting, but it was one of those where the whole film was in the trailer, and it was obviously not going to be as interesting as I originally thought and I also feel like I've already seen it! |  | |  | Login to get fewer ads

I enjoyed it a great deal but Ruffalo began to wear pretty thin, and I wished the final act was played a bit straighter |  | |  |

I found it typical underwhelming Netflix fare. I was surprised to discover that at $320 million it's one of the most expensive movies ever made. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_most_expensive_films |  |
