Have said this in past posts so sorry for the repetition but I wanna talk about these movies more!! Lol

Last weekend I saw:
-Mario-fun, nothing much more to say other than Jack Black and Anya Taylor-Joy needs to improve her voice acting skills because she was undoubtedly the weakest link
-The Social Network-fantastic, great drama. Obviously fictional at some parts but the acting was great and so was the score.
-The Departed-an excellent adaptation of an amazing movie, Infernal Affairs. Leo’s acting in particular was incredible. A lot of tension even though I knew the story. He changed the ending but I didn’t mind.
-the Florida Project-one of the best films I’ve seen in years. I keep thinking about it. I love the bright colours, the portrayal of childhood wonder in spite of the dire circumstances they live in, the portrayal of Halley. Willem Dafoe was so good too.

Willem Dafoe was so good in TFP. I'd never seen him play such an understated role before, and he knocked it out of the park. He definitely should have won the Oscar that year.

I agree!! I didn’t see the winner but it was such a lovely, as you say understated performance. He was fantastic.

The Florida Project is one of those films I can't put into words why I liked it so much, but just really like it.

I saw The Florida Project a few years ago and still think about it sometimes, that was a great movie.

Yeah! I feel like I’m gonna think about it for a long time. It was a very good film.

Watched Florida Project last month and I felt it was a very sincere film. Enjoyed it very much, despite the sad setting.

Yeah! Sincere is a good word for it.
