Family was a great overlooked comedy that was just as funny at home recently. Can't recommend it enough. Taylor Schilling from Orange is the New Black (which I haven't seen), is the lead, and she's phenomenal. it's from 2018, by Laura Steinel. I can't remember if I've already made this post itt but idc

11 ballots received so far, vs a total last year of 28. No problem moving the date through the weekend if there's any call for it*, but I reckon the OP covered this, and it's unlikely those of us currently unable to concentrate on subtitled drama in shared living rooms are likely to find it easier to do so as weeks or months go by.

well, I'm not working again til Monday.
of course I can't afford all those streams

however I signed up for a 2-wk free trial at Criterion, and Black Mother is running there.
and I will have time to watch my 'permanently' loaned library DVD of Wild Pear Tree.

everything i've seen/heard about waves makes me certain it would be on my worst of the year
― devvvine, Friday, 3 April 2020 14:55 (four years ago) link

re: Waves, neither worst nor at all best -- it won't make it onto my top 20.
Compiling this now.

there were a lot of changes of tone in Waves

I liked that

just saw Greener Grass (available to rent on youtube). i know a couple of you have it as one of the year's worst but i personally loved it and was very amused the entire time. watch if you like unrestrained surrealism of a particularly gaudy hue. or (as tt said) todd solondz. or bunuel at his wackiest. or chris morris' 'jam'. or idk that tim robinson show (but this is imo much better)

I loved Greener Grass! So strange, but it hit me just right. Very funny and sad.

The Cave is a 2019 film, no? What with the Oscar nomination and everything.
― Frederik B, Sunday, 5 April 2020 09:25 (four years ago) link
are you trying to start fights with yourself now? vote for everything you want to now, the internet might not exist or we could all be dead of capitalism next year
― donald failson (sic), Sunday, 5 April 2020 11:12 (four years ago) link
If people are voting for it now, I'll vote for it now, if people want to vote for it next year, I'll vote for it next year. I'm amicable like that.
It's split up in Denmark, it won one award, but us critics can't vote for it until next year.

Stop trying to read the other kids’ answers, keep your eyes on your own worksheet.
― donald failson (sic), Sunday, 5 April 2020 11:49 (four years ago) link
That is so so wrong. Everyone on here should copy answers from other kids. Specifically me, you should all copy my answers.

just watched Nightingale, thought it was interesting but not best of the year
― Dan S, Monday, 6 April 2020 02:09 (four years ago) link
Reminder that new ballots are due tomorrow. (If anyone who has already submitted wants to revise, just reply to your previous email.) Plenty of film thread regulars are yet to file, from whom it would be good to hear.
