Will After Bosman's words, Angry Levy brings real compensation to the film, however, every wavy horn improvisation, the love of killing a terrible god, and the soft shoe replace the urgent need of a running man to make a name for himself with his art. The frustration and eloquence of his performance adds cartoon and politeness to this muscular film.

Mank

Screenwriter Hermann J. Mankiewicz, David Fincher's long-awaited biographical drama about the monk has come a long way. Jack, Fincher's father, wrote the script for the film in the 90's, but the project did not succeed until last year. He follows the Monkeys (Gary Oldman) when he writes Citizen Kane, as well as his relationship with newspaper tycoon William Randolph Hearst (Charles Dance) and Hurst owner Marion Davis (Amanda Seyfried).

Oldman and Seyfried are both great, career highs that should be presented at the awards ceremony. Also, this is Funeral's first film since 2014's Gone Girl. The director delivers everything to the standard, which is edited to perfection and makes itself one of the best love letters in Hollywood.

El Camino

"Like, only you can decide what is best for you." These words, uttered during El Camino's early moments, symbolize the character's journey through the breaking bed. It's a show-stopping series that charts the rise and fall of Walter White. El Camino offers a send-off for the beloved ex-mathematician, moving Jesse's final journey forward.

El Camino could have been easily separated, yet Aaron Paul's intense portrayal of a person with PRSD carries everything with it.

Aaron Sarkin could have directed it directly as a courtroom drama. However, thanks to the heavyweight cast (Eddie Redman, Sacha Baron Cohen, Jeremy Strong, Joseph Gordon Levitt) it has caught on. The Chicago 7 trial is being closely watched emotionally - although Sorkin's talk has been given a twist. What really resonates are the shocking parallels to the current political scenario, the death of George Floyd, and the subsequent protests that met with tear gas this summer.

Enola Holmes

Meet Sherlock and Microsoft's younger sister. Charming, interesting, and very troubling. Join Anola Holles' Rampante when she travels to London, trying to solve not one London but two mysteries. Stranger Things actress Mili Bobby Brown is delightful as a heroine, and the fourth wall-breaking movie is a light escape for everyone trapped in the house.

The film also connects Brown Brown with another Netflix star, The Witcher's Henry Kewell, who offers a new take on Sherlock, competing with rivals Robert Downey Jr. and Benedict Cumberbatch, although the screen time is long. not enough. It's all amazingly charming. And take a look at Netflix.

The Devil All the Time

It's not hard to imagine Netflix's ever-appealing hot cast of Devil of the Devil, then shocking young viewers.

From the creative mind of man behind the eternal sunshine of a tainted brain, I wonder if the ending is a psychological thriller that will scorch your nerves and leave you wondering what reality is and what it isn't. Is. Important Hint: Don't believe everything you see .

Atlantics

A scary love story was told in Senegal. A 17-year-old construction worker named Ada has fallen in love with Suleiman, who one day disappeared at sea and on the beach. Those who were missing in the boat return to harass those who have been left behind in their old neighborhood, some hoping for revenge for the low pay. Solomon, however, has other plans.

There is something magical about the Atlantic. A story from the past that is not frightening, but is a political commentary and serious romance on the poor working and living conditions in Senegal. The cinematography is beautiful, and Matthew Depp's direction is excellent. Critics have found it difficult to rate, and you can see why.

The Meyerowitz Stories (New and Selected)

Adam Sandler and Ben Stellar star in Noah Bombach's remarkable interlinear comedy about Noah Bombach's three siblings (Sandler, Stellar, and Elizabeth Marvel) trying to live in the shadow of their father (Dustin Huffman). As he struggled with this, each other and his family, he saw his life take an unexpected turn.

If you've seen Bombach's previous films like Squid and Whale or Greenberg, you'll know what you're getting here: a humorous comedy with emotional, dramatic elements, and some good performances. He has also written several film scripts for Wes Anderson, including The Life Aquatic and Fantastic Mr. Fox. And yes, you better believe it, Adam Sandler can work when Adam is given a half-decent script (see Punch - Drunk Love for more proof).

Okja

Bong Jun-Ho directed a science fiction campaign that includes references to the modern food industry. A cast of Tilda Sweeten, Paul Dano, and highly talented actors, Okaja debated at the time of release, especially around the ethics of meat preparation. It also showed that companies like Netflix can make great strides in left field creative choices, as long as they do so with confidence. And this supply to Bong Jun-ho and the partner is very high.

Its bold and innovative story, great action, and eye-popping visuals make it an entertaining movie. Also, who needs an excuse to see someone with Tilda Sweeten in it? Also, its Bong Jun Ho ... When you go to the board of Oscar-winning directors, you know you're in good hands.

The Ballad of Buster Scruggs

In one of Netflix's biggest uprisings, the streaming service developed the Queen Brothers Project. The Ballad of Buster Scregs - which was originally going to be a television show - consists of six short films, each telling a story of the American West. This is not a Coen movie, but technically Coen movies are wrapped in one. And Queen movies, as Cinema Aficano knows, are quality (well, most of them).

Although you can't spend the night watching a series of shorts at the cinema, it's easy to shoot it at home and make yourself comfortable on the couch. Also, if you get distracted, tired, or otherwise distracted, not every movie will last longer than an episode of Brooklyn Nine Nine, so you can separate it if you need to.

Da 5 Bloods

Spike Lee has been reminding us of the Black Lives case since the mid-80s, but his screams have surprisingly taken a new turn in recent years: Chi-Raq and Bulk Killns Samin. Among the strongest works. The 5 Bloods matches the resentment of the films, in which four American veterans (played by Delro Lindo, Clark Peters, Asia Whitelock Jr., Norm Lewis) find the remains of their squad leader and send them home. Returning to Vietnam for (played by Chadwick) Bosman)

Finding a coffin of gold bullion buried during the war is no small feat - it was intended to compensate locals for their help against the Vietnam Congress, but when they got off the CIA plane When we left, our heroes took it for themselves. This is a great, charming picture. The world needs it now.

Marriage Story

Adam Driver and Scarlett Johansson are playing a couple seeking a divorce. He is a theater controller. She is an actress who is looking to appear in films. Together, they are a mess whose only real bond is their son.

The wedding story is really a filmmaking issue and it has all the horrible details about divorce - lawyers have to be found, the question arises as to who will keep the survivors, the parents seemingly spoiling the situation. Are removed Presented on screen. This fact stems from the innocent screenplay of director Noah Bombach, which he wrote after completing his divorce. If your relationship is not emotionally stable, there is no one to watch.

The Irishman

Adaptation of Charles Brand's book, which is shortening the life of Hard U Penthouses, has taken a long time to come here, and it takes a long time to see. Full of show-stopping cast, Robert De Niro leads the show as a former truck driver, who is part of a Pennsylvania criminal family led by Russell Buffalo of PC.

The Irish Man is a classic skirmish picture best suited for its three-and-a-half-hour runtime, deeply enjoyed in the rugged terrain before it: the loneliness of a lifelong bully. Along with All Pacino, Jimmy Hoffa, Pesky and De Niro have two important roles to play as tester leaders. The movie's CGI de-aging technique will make you wow.

Roma

All moviegoers put themselves to work. It is inevitable. Alfonso Caron uses his upbringing on the streets of Mexico City as an inspiration to expose his past in the forces of his past, Roma. The totally so-called cast shines through this thrilling film, which has a story that follows domestic servants living for a middle-class family. During the '70s, Roma revolved around class and culture ideas, and put them inside some of the most compelling shots you'll ever see on Netflix.

Following the 2013 choice of gravity - an intricate space set hanging sensationally together with the latest CGI - Roma is a breath of fresh air. A simple pumpkin dive that is already being described as a masterpiece, and one of the best movies ever, why don't you want to see it?

The Social Network

Non-Netflix original available in US/UK

Billionaire tech giant, before Mark Zuckerberg was a fool. However, a fool of the skilled, who puts his witch to play to create a social network - Facebook. With little interest in setting wild parties and storms, David Fenter's dive into the world's most powerful CEO is a tragic revelation that has been through Fencher and through him.

It's a dark, twisted and extreme story about Zuckerberg's rise to fame. The boy is surprised that no billionaire leaves college, which is why his poor treatment of a friend who comes after him makes some necessary theory. Although Zuckerberg's story is not a rich one, it is interesting to note that, despite having more money than he realizes, life is not easy for him.

Uncut Gems

With GuffTime, the White Brothers proved to be a force to be reckoned with. These cut gems, however, see the director pair working perfectly on another level. Adam Sandler played the role of New York-based Jewish nuclear gold. Hui owes a lot of money to many people, and he is addicted to gambling. A movie that will blow your nerves when you see a surprisingly similar main character doing everything wrong.

One reason why 'Adam Sandler' and 'Oscar Sunb' have come together so often in early 2020. Sandler's career-best performance as a great snake oil salesman, while having a high-octane, movie movie most of the credit roll, will ruin your surprise anxiety.

I Lost My Body

A French animation about a severed hand trying to reconnect with its owner is an amazingly funny adventure drama full of paths. After escaping from a Paris hospital, heading freely around the city - avoiding incoming traffic, unrealistic pigeons and animal mice along the way - a clumsy loneliness to reunite Naoufel's body In an impossible struggle.

I Lost My Body is a small down, ground-level risk study, with great humor in detail. It is also a meditation on the identification of fragmentation, which goes beyond the strong hope of a hand for reconciliation. Director / co-author Jeremy Clippon sensitively combines sincerity with the ultimate life-affirming message.

Dolemite Is My Name

Eddie Murphy played Rudy Ray Moore, a well-known actor who created the phenomenon of Dolamite, a kung fu fighting pimp who released comedy albums and movies. Dolamite Age My Name tells of Moore's struggle to become famous, and then, despite being famous in the black community, he had to overcome the ordeal of making films.

Murphy is rarely better than Dolomite Ice Mai. This is his film, the comedian takes every scene. And it is a tragedy that they were not showered with gold at the Oscars. Wesley Snaps is also great as director De Orwell Martin.

Beasts of No Nation

One of Netflix's first productions was indeed a bold proposal. A war film in a legendary African country, which was written in Toi (a dialect of Akan language spoken in Ghana) in a long, long, long, long, long, long, long, long, long, long, long, long, long, long, long, long, long, long. A nation of animals is found in the dust just as it is predicted, the viewer is morally conflicted and emotionally exhausted.

In a film that has equal and thrilling episodes, Idris Alba provides a complete masterclass in his role as Commandant. You see him grooming a child for war and committing many war crimes, and yet, you still want to root for yourself. As a leader, young Ibrahim Atta does not reveal in any way. It's all directed, written, and shot by Carrie Joji Fukanaga, who is directing Time to Die, and you can see why the bond producer liked it.

Private Life

Paul Gaya Matthew and Katherine Hunn are playing with a married couple who are desperately trying to have a baby. As their time is running out, they try to find different ways to help reproduce, but when the college dropout CD suddenly enters their lives, everything changes. It's a mix of comedy and drama, with this particular type of presence only appearing in New York set films.

In many ways, private life is a combination of your old New York indie movie and your old middle-aged controversy indie film, but director Tamara Jenkins (2007's The Savages) impresses with the charm of her particular brand. In addition, Gia Mati is in vintage form while Hahn has also performed well. Like many of Netflix's successes, the power of this film lies in the authenticity of the script's importance, rather than in its sensationalism.

Mudbound

In post-World War II South America, Mood Bond is a dramatic thriller about racial tensions and cultural segregation that is still flourishing almost a century after the abolition of slavery. This is after the cast of both white and black characters, as they visit the most volatile society in the South, while at the same time dealing with the traumatic events that followed World War II.

Mudbound is a war drama that is synonymous with progressive rock singing, incorporating layers and elements, which is why it is a true epic because all its straws are dramatically combined. Go Aside from its cultural relevance today with the escalation of racial tensions in recent years, this is a very good film in itself, and marks the best performances of Jason Mitchell and Garrett Headland to date. This is a match.

Other Side of the Wind

The previously lost Orson Wells film, The Other Side of the Wind, features Jack Hanford, a senior Hollywood director, who is hosting a screening of his new film, entitled The Other Side of the Wind. Inside the movie, a movie breaks down both the golden age of Hollywood and experimental cinema, which suffered mostly punctures in the late 1960s. Cucumber, too, was immediately told to the audience that this was Hannaford's last day on earth. Not a bad way to start a movie, that's for sure.

Not only is this a piece of film history (previously incomplete after Wales' death), but for other reasons, Wind of the Wind is also unacceptable. It's a great tradition in modern and classical cinema, and Orson Wells is giving something new to this medium that has dedicated its life to it. A documentary has also been made with it. When I die, they will love me, which is as interesting and reproducible as the source material.

The Little Prince

Netflix doesn't just focus on adult themed movies, though freedom from R-ratings gives it plenty of scope for swearing, violence and sex. Here you will find a priceless short animated movie based on a French novel from 1943, in which there is a lonely girl whose imagination is told by her eccentric neighbor through magic stories. As he embarks on this journey, he discovers a world of wonder that is hidden from the naked eye, in the process changing him, her and the girl's mother.

In an age where religions seem almost like a default emotion, in everyday life, politics or even cinema, the Little Prince is a refreshing thing. It's not a great movie in terms of packaging, but fortunately it's beautiful. It's neat, it's family fun, and we can never do more than that.

Gerald’s Game

Directed by Mike Flanagan (Hill House and Dr. Sleep Search), Gerald's play is a thriller with a twist: the protagonist is handcuffed to a bed for almost the entire film. Carla Gogino and Bruce Greenwood are playing a couple who rent a deserted cabin to spice up their wedding. Gerald died suddenly shortly after Gogino was handcuffed in bed as part of a sex game. He was tied to a very strong bed, and there was no one close enough to hear his screams for help, as he had to fight to stay alive.

Such claustrophobic thrills can often be hit and miss, but it is in the former category. He was almost entirely guided by Guggenheim's intense performance, always the only other cast member with ground class Greenwood. The quality of acting raises a well-run genre movie.

High Flying Bird

In a basketball league lockout, a young and passionate sports agent named Ray finds himself at the center of a power struggle between players and bosses. Representing a highly skilled young player, he developed a system to suppress the voices of black players by team owners, who are mostly white, in the increasingly high-stakes game of ranking, money and power Decided to fight the system as seen. .

If you're into sports drama, you'll love High Flying Bird. Like the movie, it is correctly written that basketball is the sexiest sport on earth, and there is some great movement in the scenes of great conversation. It's all directed by Steven Soderbergh, who has retired more than Michael Jordan but can't stay away. Also, it's all shot on an iPhone.

Monty Python and the Holy Grail

Non-Netflix original available in US/UK

King Arthur (Graham Chapman) and his Round Table Knights travel in search of Tytler Bobbitt. Well, it would be more accurate to say that they pretend to ride horses while their servants provide coconut-based sound effects. The medieval setup paves the way for one of Monte Python's most memorable jokes. The Knights who say "Ni", the French soldiers who insult Arthur and his knights, the whole "Tis but a scratch" continuum ... a lot.

Not every comedy appeals to every palette. Some people like broader body satire and humor, others may prefer satire. When it comes to Monty Python and Holly Grill, it's hard to imagine who wouldn't enjoy it. That's all there is to it. Sleepstick shenanigans, fourth wall breaking, anionando, deadpan delivery and realism all play a part. Looking at it today, you can see the styles and ideas developed by later comedians, but no one improves this nonsense from this bunch. However, a great joke is told only once in a while.

Shéhérazade

Zachary, a 17-year-old convict, was released from prison in his hometown of Marseilles and immediately returned to Coyotes with his old gang to continue his criminal life, including evicting sex workers. Is. One day, though, he meets a young sex worker, Prince. He falls for her, and slowly grows with her, causing her life to spiral out of control.

Yeah Al that sounds pretty crap to me, Looks like BT aint for me either. Echoes of French dramas involved in Germany, simultaneous tensions and echoes of other French dramas (La Hain keeps in mind). Also a beautiful neon tunged visual palette blends in with this scholar, the characters find themselves intensely fleeing from the young cast with a strong soundtrack and confident performances.

13th

Ava Doornay turned from Selma to Martin Luther King's Selma March. Two years later, Dover returned with the 13th documentary, dubbed the Thirteenth Amendment to the United States Constitution, which banned slavery nationwide. However, the filmmaker argues that slavery has taken another form: freedom from imprisonment.

It is followed by one of Netflix's most powerful documentaries, the 13th showing how people of color have endured persecution under unjust and unjust laws and policing. Dover's insidious look at the prison system - which sheds light on how some companies are benefiting from keeping people locked up - was nominated for an Oscar, and rightly so.

The Old Guard

Old Guard sees Charlize Theron playing an eternal warrior who is fed up with the world. Despite its best efforts, it continues to deteriorate. In addition, due to camera phones and modern technology, it is becoming more and more difficult to hide its authenticity from those who want to use it for nefarious purposes. Add to this mix a new eternal fighter, played by Keke Lane, who has no idea of ​​his true powers, and Theron's Andy is present for a wild time.

Netflix's effort in big-budget superhero action may not be surprising standards, but it's certainly a thrilling watch. Theron has created an evil donkey fighter with which anyone can take part in the fight, while eventually leaving the Old Guard open for a sequel. If you're into comic book action, the Old Guard is for you.

I Don't Feel at Home in This World Anymore

From the producer of Green Room, and critically acclaimed actors Melania Lensky and Elijah Wood - who have mastered the art of off-beat Scott character in recent years (Dark Gentley, Crazy or Wolfred for proof) See) - You might assume that I wouldn't feel at home in this world and there would be a left-wing movie. And you will be right. It was after Ruth's increasingly violent mismanagement and her martial arts that drove neighbor Tony crazy when he detected a burglary of Ruth's grandmother's silver spoon.

Equally ridiculous and vile, I don't feel at home in this world. Besides, Netflix is ​​one of the original movies because it echoes a lot of people's dissatisfaction with the world. Despite the surprisingly bloody consequences, they are reluctant to let anyone decide to stand up against a growing self-made society.

The Two Popes

There is an interesting relationship between Cardinal George Mario Bergoglio, later Pope Francis, and Pope Benedict XVI. There were differences with Pope Benedict over how to run a church with more and more classical beliefs. And yet, Benedict became the first pope to step down since 1415, after Pope Francis took power.

what happened? This is the question that tries to answer this well-proportioned film about faith, and the pleasant image of two people having trouble getting into trouble. Even if you're not religious, the two popes work for a light clock that has been drastically enhanced by two incredible central performances: Jonathan as Pope Benedict as Jonathan as Pope Francis. Price and Anthony Hopkins. They were both nominated for Oscars.

Nightcrawler

Non-Netflix original available in US/UK

Dan Galloway's first feature, the Night Crawler, is a satirical satire that tramples the dark corners of LA and the soaked streets of Neon, which plays like meeting a network taxi driver. Janet Gillian Hall as a missing John Lou Bloom who stumbled in a bloody road accident and a TV news crew changed after the massacre. After acquiring a digital camera and police scanner, Lou went into business, driving the city into a witch's watch and selling crime footage to Cuttack producer Nina. If it bleeds, it goes to it.

Gallenhal has the backing of Raz Ahmed as his assistant, Bill Paston as the head of a rival news crew, and Renee Ross, but that's Jack. Preserved through blood and grumpy insolence, reminiscent of King of Comedy's sociopath Rupert Papkin, Galenhal's Lou is a dangerous, passionate creation when he looks at the background of the LE Skyline and the murmur studio, "TV But it seems real. "
