She's basically on every good TV show in the UK - Fleabag, Flowers, Broadchurch, Peep Show, etc. And finally she gets recognition in the movies. Our award will change her life.

Re: Reel Society of Film Critics Awards 2019
The penultimate Best Picture featurette, I give you, The Guilty.
The Guilty
A Danish movie that came out of nowhere but stuck me like a hammer to the head, The Guilty is a gripping and tension filled movie despite its initial premise. Following a police officer who has been demoted to a desk duty job thanks to an internal investigation, we are led on a cat and mouse game as a woman calls his emergency line informing him that she is in the process of a kidnapping. What follows is an extraordinarily tense thriller as he tries to locate and rescue her. However, the movie quickly develops into something much more intriguing, all the while maintaining its tension due to the claustrophobic nature of the film making as the camera never leaves the call room. Watch this quick before the American remake ruins it all.

Loved The Guilty. Love those kind of single-location thrillers. Was suprised by how dark it could get in comparison to similar American movies. Definitely the most suprising movie of last year.
It's not destroying. It's making something new.

Ethan Hawke, First Reformed
Again, another actor I have loved for a very long time and he was fantastic in Schraders truly brilliant movie.
Re: Reel Society of Film Critics Awards 2019
Hawke was good but Foster should have won. The portrayal of PSTD in that movie is spot-on.

Re: Reel Society of Film Critics Awards 2019
Time for the final Best Picture nominee featurette, this time for my favourite movie of last year, The Endless, courtesy of six.
The Endless
Hot on the heels of their much-loved 2014 sci-fi-horror-romance Spring, writer-director duo Aaron Moorhead and Justin Benson jumped into developing much larger, more ambitious projects. But with bigger budgets comes bigger headaches, and the duo found themselves waiting around for star cast, only to lose them to blockbusters. Like any great artists, they turned their frustrations into a solution, writing a film they could star in and shoot covertly. The Endless is the imaginative result, a story about brothers who fled from a cult only to realise their lives are empty. Having received a mysterious videotape from the cult, the two decide to face their past and return to their old life to uncover what really happened. And what we get is an odd sci-fi mystery, a sort of Twilight Zone episode with a dash of Lovecraft, but with heart and deeper complications that deals with strange worlds, creatures, and time loops. There’s even a reference to their debut feature, Resolution. But really The Endless is a testament to smart, atmospheric low-budget genre film-making, and it just happens to beat the hell out off of any big budget rival.

Wasn't overly impressed with First Reformed on the whole, but Hawke was quite good.
