    AFI FEST #4
    This was my most anticipated of the entire year and it didn't disappoint in the slightest. A haunting look at the grief process led by Andrew Scott, while Paul Mescal, Claire Foy, and Jamie Bell rounding out this amazing cast. It's rare (to me at least) to find a film with all the actors being so vulnerable and heartbreaking it was honestly such an honor to see. (Also have to shout out the breathtaking cinematography; from the…

    AFI FEST FILM #1
    An epic yet intimate tale of a motorcycle club told by an all star cast. Solid direction and a great soundtrack but doesn't have the hugest emotional hook for me. Tom Hardy is the suprise standout and I always love seeing a Jodie Comer performance. Needed way more Mike Faist. Dads are going to love love this. Hopefully general audiences get to see this soon; plus any adult drama made by a major studio not going…

    I unfortunate agree with that this film falls under the "standard bio pic" formula that comes every awards season, but man does Colman Domingo's performance just make this journey worth it.

    Overall, I really liked the project bringing an unknown hero's story to life (which really sucks that I didn't…

    A solid funny sports underdog tale infused with the signature Taika Waititi humor that's sure to distract your from the world for two hours. Loved the message about finding your happiness in this world; especially empathizing slowing down and taking time for appreciating things in life before they can be gone forever.

    Nice to see Michael Fassbender in a less serious role after seeing him in things like The Killer. (He has a killer monologue in the third act) And…

    I honestly have no words on this magnificent bold story that will hopefully shake some people up. In a normal year, I would have loved to have seen this at TIFF in a packed theather and watch the Oscar buzz rise for the entire team behind this film. Carey Mulligan will get her Oscar, you mark my words.

    I'll leave everyone with my non-spoiler thoughts while watching the film:
    OH
    OH MY GOD
    OH MY GOD
    OH MY GOD
    WTF
