I have! I'm still unsure if it's a study of toxic masculinity or an indulgence of it

another round is a great film imo and, quite intentionally and unexpectedly for all concerned in the aftermath of the director's daughter's death, a painful meditation on irrevocable loss and how to get through

MANDIBLES (Quentin Dupieux) The stupidest art film of the year, directed by a Gallic auteur who specializes in one-joke dumbbell comedies, about a giant fly and two French stooges, is also one of the funniest and most charming.

An intriguing blurb in J. Hoberman's list...
4. ON THE ROYAL ROAD: THE BURGHER KING (Elfriede Jelinek, Seagull Books)Nobel laureate Jelinek’s tragicomic satire, translated from German by Gitta Honegger, isn’t a movie, but it should be—a lengthy monologue delivered by the Muppet Miss Piggy, eyes bleeding à la Tiresias. Regarding the unnamed king: “He tells us that already earlier we thought like him that never thinks.”

The Mitchells vs. the Machines is a fun, ingenious, great-looking and quietly features a queer protagonist. Glad it won over any of the year's Disney offerings.
