A handful of critics seem to really like The Blackcoat's Daughter (directed by Oz Perkins, son of Anthony), but I found it alternately dull and yucky (but mostly dull).

blackcoat's daughter is terrrrrrrrrible i have no idea what people see in it

anyone watched Wormwood?
― morning wood truancy (Alfred, Lord Sotosyn), Tuesday, 19 December 2017 18:47 (eight years ago)
no, but I'm off tomorrow and was toying with seeing a noon arthouse showing.
― ice cream social justice (Dr Morbius), Tuesday, 19 December 2017 19:14 (eight years ago)
may watch on Netflix tonight
― morning wood truancy (Alfred, Lord Sotosyn), Tuesday, 19 December 2017 21:09 (eight years ago)
I watched the first couple of installments - not yet convinced the diversion from Morris' usual style is particularly productive

BEST SUPPORTING ACTORWillem Dafoe – The Florida Project
You didn't make enough phone calls beforehand, evidently.
― Fred Klinkenberg (Eric H.), Thursday, 21 December 2017 15:00 (eight years ago)
hey man I used up minutes getting Nixon in.

Barry Keoghan – The Killing of A Sacred Deer
ok, wasn't expecting that
i notice this year in pretty much ALL the groups and orgs, the best sctors and scripts ALL speak/are in English
didn't used to happen
― ice cream social justice (Dr Morbius), Thursday, 21 December 2017 15:49 (eight years ago)
Since Bergman stopped making movies, more often than not tho.
― Fred Klinkenberg (Eric H.), Thursday, 21 December 2017 16:09 (eight years ago)
As austerity politics has been tough to national film funding, a lot of international directors are making films in English as well. Lanthimos and Guadagnino and del Toro most conspicuously this year.

Bilge Ebiri posits a #1 that not many have yet: https://www.villagevoice.com/2017/12/21/songs-from-a-sunken-place-the-best-films-of-2017/
― Fred Klinkenberg (Eric H.), Thursday, 21 December 2017 17:19 (eight years ago)
I'd hoped that would be After the Storm, which is the best Kore-eda in ages. Really, really, good.
― Frederik B, Thursday, 21 December 2017 17:37 (eight years ago)
I thought After the Storm was pleasant, but I struggle to think of anything remarkable about it. The few reviews I've read of it mirror your reaction far more than mine, though.
― iCloudius (cryptosicko), Thursday, 21 December 2017 23:44 (eight years ago)
For me it's mostly that I thought Kore-eda had become too saccharine and slick on his latest films, but there's both some real darkness, and some unexpected filmic choices, in After the Storm. For instance the male lead is kinda too tall for a lot of the camera setups, which never failed to amuse me.
― Frederik B, Friday, 22 December 2017 01:12 (eight years ago)
I can catch up on one of these three contenders today, which one do I go see?
Call Me By Your NameFlorida ProjectGood Time
― Daniel_Rf, Friday, 22 December 2017 12:01 (eight years ago)
The first and third.
― morning wood truancy (Alfred, Lord Sotosyn), Friday, 22 December 2017 12:20 (eight years ago)
I liked The Florida Project but I'd still agree with Alfred.
― Alba, Friday, 22 December 2017 12:48 (eight years ago)
Oh, wait only one. That is hard! Good Time is a safer bet but I'd personally say CMBYN.
― Alba, Friday, 22 December 2017 12:50 (eight years ago)
thanks guys CMBYN was lovely :)
― Daniel_Rf, Friday, 22 December 2017 20:35 (eight years ago)
Wait till you see the lovelinesss of The Florida Project!
― Fred Klinkenberg (Eric H.), Friday, 22 December 2017 20:48 (eight years ago)
We recognized the loveliness of The Florida Project after all. I didn't expect a Dunkirk win. I included my final ballot therein.
― morning wood truancy (Alfred, Lord Sotosyn), Sunday, 24 December 2017 13:28 (eight years ago)
Lol. On the other hand, you're the only group to not choose Dafoe, no?
― Frederik B, Sunday, 24 December 2017 13:31 (eight years ago)
I'd trade every Alison Janney in the world for one Dafoe.
― morning wood truancy (Alfred, Lord Sotosyn), Sunday, 24 December 2017 13:41 (eight years ago)
Aw, why do you hate on Alison Janney, I like her :(
― Frederik B, Sunday, 24 December 2017 14:17 (eight years ago)
*google's "I hate Alison Janney" as part of my research to uncover whether ILX is the one place on the internet where you can find people being mean about Alison Janney*
― Alba, Monday, 25 December 2017 09:17 (eight years ago)
to me, her career highlight is being killed by a bus.

I had Adèle Haenel and Aubrey Plaza on two of my ballots. Agree about Sienna Miller (and had Charlie Hunnam on there too).
― morning wood truancy (Alfred, Lord Sotosyn), Friday, 29 December 2017 15:21 (eight years ago)
Haenel for BPM, that is.
I've had Aubrey Plaza on ballots in the past for far worse movies, so it pains me to say I haven't seen Ingrid Goes West yet.
