What is the best recent movie you’ve seen.

[Meta not Meta]

One Battle After Another. The failures of one generation and the hope of another. Paul Thomas Anderson's movies may not be for everyone, but I absolutely adore them and this one was no different. Felt like not one second was wasted. Beautifully shot and a roller coaster of a ride. If you like his movies, would absolutely recommend.

Cheers!

"The failures of one generation ..."

Very true ... thought I was going to hate it; but ended up loving it. Highly satirical about our present-day moment. Like Alex Garland's 'Civil War,' a bit of a Rorschach Test, politically--but that's kinda deceptive, as it's ultimately about love of family.

Some other recent releases I enjoyed:

• Frankenstein (Guillermo del Toro, far closer to the source novel than other adaptations)

• Die My Love (with Jennifer Lawrence, at her maddening OTT best - for the Pattinson character, imagine six months of great sex followed by a marriage of unbelievable misery)

 

[Thor Jr]

I watched The Astronaut recently and I enjoyed it, my kind of flick. It stars Kate Mara, who gave a nice performance, as she always does. And the movie also featured Lawrence Fishburne, who I think is a great actor, so it made the movie even more enjoyable. He just adds so much more power to a movie.

The movie is about an astronaut(Kate Mara), who recently came back from a mission and has to go through some major debriefing and testing before being considered fit for future missions. A story follows and kept me interested throughout, till the end. I wont share any plot lines, I want you to get the full adventure and let the story unravel slowly for you.
Thriller/sci-fi movie.

Also watched Good Boy and I have to tell you, its not a long movie, and the star of the movie is Indy, a novia scotia duck tolling retriever who gave the performance of his lifetime, lol. Actually, he's the only actor in this movie that you actually can see. I cant wait to see him in his next adventure, great actor and oh so cute. Works well with others, takes direction very well. Up and coming future action star.
Thriller/horror and drama for sure.
