Trying to finish up Oscar watches before the awards... it's gonna be close! I think I have like seven films left + two short film programs.

Recent watches:

Argentina 1985: This was a pretty good drama! Looked super nice, and was well-acted and informative. I wouldn't say it was groundbreaking in any other respect, but it was interesting to learn more about the trials.

Of An Age: I didn't love this, but I liked it a lot. I do wish someone had backed the camera up about five feet in nearly every scene... all of the extreme close-ups didn't do anything for me. I also wished it'd had subtitles - yes, it's in English, but the Australian accents made it a little tough to fully understand at times. Thom Green was the highlight for me.

The Quiet Girl: A beautiful little film - I cried so much! I feel like if you are a parent and/or were neglected as a child, this will hit pretty fucking hard. It's slow paced, and definitely depressing at points, but never boring. Probably my favorite entry in the International film category so far, but I still need to see EO.

I want to see Emily soon, but I am tapped out on A-List reservations for the week. Thankfully, even though it's leaving my local theater, it will be in a couple of nearby theaters next week, so I'll probably check it out then.

I've never seen any of the Creed movies, but I may have to watch them at some point! I like Jonathan Majors a lot.

I hope The Quiet Girl starts streaming soon so I can cry from the comfort of my couch!

I want to see The Quiet Girl and EO badly and not just to tick them off my pre-Oscars list. Pretty sure they are going to top everything I've seen for this award season. I saw that EO is available on Criterion's streaming service and I'm so tempted to sign up for - OKAY, JUST ONE MORE - but damn it, how many do I really need?

The Quiet Girl: A beautiful little film

Yay, I'm so glad you liked it! That and Argentina, which I loved, both made my Top 10.
