It's certainly not lost any of its power. It is a particularly grim piece of work with only the occasional slivers of light and levity, but its absolutely engrossing and the central performance from Brad Davis is superb. Such a shame that he (Davis) died so young as I can imagine he'd have a good body of work by now. If you've never seen it, get on it ASAP (it's on Netflix). As a kid I loved this, I read the book as well, it is an excellent read and if you haven't already, and are looking for something to read, I highly recommend it. I haven't seen the film in decades either so its gone up to next on my list. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sheepyvillian Posted February 6, 2023 Share Posted February 6, 2023 I'm watching Dunkirk. It's actually refreshing to be able to watch a Christopher Noalan film that you can make sense of. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sheepyvillian Posted February 6, 2023 Share Posted February 6, 2023 Having watched Dunkirk makes you realise, the British were built differently those days. Glorious even in retreat. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Designer1 Posted February 8, 2023 VT Supporter Share Posted February 8, 2023 Impossible for me to recommend as my reaction when watching was basically... I can definitely see why its got people talking though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Designer1 Posted February 8, 2023 VT Supporter Share Posted February 8, 2023 Just back from watching this... Yeah, it's definitely on the 'Good Shyamalan' team and even though there are some plotholes and odd character decisions, it's streamlined and tautly directed with the small cast doing a good job with each role (particularly impressed with Dave Bautista who is turning into quite an accomplished character actor). 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some people have absolutely loathed the whole thing but many have found it to be very unsettling and bold. It's certainly a million miles away from more traditional horror. I admired it, but it didn't completely land for me. Certainly not bad for a film that only cost 15k to make.

useless Posted February 10, 2023 Share Posted February 10, 2023 Juliet of the Spirites (Federico Fellini) - Colorful movie, Giulietta Masina great, liked it. Welcome to The Dollhouse (Todd Solondz) - Pretty good, I liked this also. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rodders Posted February 11, 2023 Share Posted February 11, 2023 Watched Coda last night. Yes, it's a bit of a generic feel-good coming of age family comedy drama, but I really enjoyed it. Even when you know the beats coming if the actors pull you in, its still a really enjoyable experience, plus great to see so much deaf representation on screen, this and The Sound of Metal have both been excellent for that 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
