Hi OP! I’m new around here but I’ve been lurking for a while and every week I really look forward to your Indie Film Release Guide post, thank you so much for putting all this info together!

Minari is so good! Can’t wait to watch Judas and the Black Messiah and I'll check out Saint Maud, Barb and Star Go to Vista Del Mar, Dead Pigs and maybe Breaking News in Yuba County too. Adding Twilight’s Kiss to my watchlist.

I rewatched Populaire on sunday and I had to download the soundtrack right after. During this week so far I also watched The Undertaker’s Home, The Empty Man, Little Big Women, The Kid Detective - Adrian Brody is in it, Amanda the Jedi recommended it as an alternative to one of worst movies of 2020 she mentioned on her latest video and it was a nice surprise! - and The Pension. Now I’m watching Jayro Bustamante’s La Llorona. :)

Populaire!

I finally watched Uncut Gems and wow... The hype was real. Now I know what people were talking about saying how anxious the film made them feel lol What a ride. Sandler was excellent and easily should've gotten an Oscar nod. The Safdie brothers keep delivering.

Dead Pigs is ok, a bit overlong and muddled for me.

The Mauritanian is ok, though the lead performance by Tahar Rahim is fantastic and his lone awards nom is deserving, regardless of it being a Globe.

Minari is fine, definitely as a whole its ensemble gets the job done when the filmmaking feels too understated. Yeri Han gave my favorite performance in the film.

My intern gifted me a voucher so I'm finally going to watch Portrait of a Woman on Fire.

I will definitely be watching Judas and the Black Messiah tomorrow, that's my to-do list.

I watched Saint Maud a few days ago, and it took a few minutes to grow on me (it's a fairly short movie) but by the end I was absolutely on board. It is fantastic.
