Bad Frank (2017)
Excellent
I don't know why this movie got such a poor rating. I mean, it won and was nominated for numerous US film awards. Also, reading the reviews it's as if many hasn't even bothered to watch it. Competitor rating? Well, envy is understandable; this is an excellent piece of work.
Director producer Tony Germinario manages to fool us with what appears as a predictable action crime movie. But it's one character arc in particular that delivers a nose punch well worth experiencing; it's truly a film that stays with you. Don't miss it!
The Hunt (2020)
Satire at its bloodiest
Thoroughly enjoyed this gruesome bloodfest adaptation that's about a different form of violence altogether.
The cast is magnificent with not a single weak performance, imo. A good script that Zobel understood well and gave us a movie that actually is not about polarisation.
I especially enjoyed the nuanced humour Betty Gilpin brought to the movie, and her and Hilary Swank's fight scene was well choreographed and almost sensual.
Don't know why it gets only a measly 6,5; while it's not strictly speaking an 8, I rate it so as to drive the score up a bit.
You Belong to Me (2021)
Worth it if...
The slightly melodramatic soundtrack gives away the overall quality of this movie right at the start. Despite a couple of accomplished cast members, YBTM fails to really engage or convince.
Throughout, the music is like too much of a strong spice that ends up spoiling the dish, while the execution of a few important emotional scenes and segues are underwhelming and amateurish. Probably, at least in part, due to a meh script. A pity, considering the triggering themes.
OK if you have really nothing else to watch.
