So, it's really looking like the quartet of the year is: Gary Oldman, Frances McDormand, Willem Dafoe, Allison Janney.

Oldman as Churchill, McDormand in "Three Billboards..."?

Oldman as Churchill - There is a movie I'd pay not to watch, although I'm sure it will be a big hit with The Football Lads Alliance type crowds. Sometimes I think in post-brexit times every UK movie is just going to be a Dunkirk remake for the next decade.

Yup. Unless Sally Hawkins' swamp fever keeps up the momentum.

"Insufferable" is a good response to The Square. It tries to Say Something about inequality and the media outrage cycle, but gets bogged down in liberal cringe. And it reaffirms my belief that every movie that comes in at over 2 hours should be taken out of the director's hands and cut to 90 minutes.
