Have we covered "I swear" yet? It's a powerful film about a Tourettes sufferer growing up in an era when the condition was yet to be recognised.
"Joyride" is also excellent. Set in Ireland, it sees a quirk of fate throw a teenager from a troubled family together with a woman - played by Olivia Colman - who has just given birth to an unwanted child. Poignant yet full of humour. |  |
| "Things had started becoming increasingly desperate at Loftus Road but QPR have been handed a massive lifeline and the place has absolutely erupted. it's carnage. It's bedlam. It's 1-1." |

My Brother's Band is a very good french film. Bit of a copy
of Brassed off but still good |  | | |

Watched Deliver Me From Nowhere last night. As a massive Bosshead, I was nervous cos everyone told me it was dreadful, so I had a weird framing effect where it wasn't as bad as I'd been told so I thought it was ok.
It absolutely reeked of studio interference though; there is a thoughtful meditative film in there. Wish A24 had won the bidding war instead of Fox.
Its central struggle is that it doesn't know what it wants to be about. Is it about Bruce and his dad? Doesn't even tell us that the cause of his dad's issues was undiagnosed schizophrenia. Is it about making an album? Well, that's not that interesting and there's no arc cos Bruce just wants one thing and won't compromise. Is it about choosing an artistically valid path or the more poppy successful one? No cos he released both albums and they were both really successful. Is it about getting help with depression? No, cos it just kinda tacks that onto the end.
Well made, well acted, but ultimately not really that worthwhile |  | | |

Agree about Sinners, I didn't love it but admired how well made it is, some beautiful shots, and the use of music is excellent.
Edit: I need to watch this film again because so many people who's opinions I respect really rated it, and on the face of it it's a film that couldn't be any more my jam [Post edited 26 Jan 9:20]

Underwhelming was my verdict. It's a decent film but it was very slow in parts.
Then again, I also watched The Business for about the tenth time this weekend, so what do I know? |  |
