Thanks Ty, I’ll pass on R&R, but the other 3 seem must see cinema. Till should raise the roof, but sadly won’t…we’s whites, woke or not, seem mostly numb to it all 😢
Thanks for sharing the Trailer of The Banshees. I still have my hand knit sweater from Inishmore when I visited as a college student in the 1970s. Rough sailing getting there, but the ancient sites and wild beauty were spectacular. The clip from Colbert about the pub being built 20 feet from the cliff and Jenny the Diva was great, too!
I absolutely adored "In Bruges" and really did not like 3 Billboards (one of those movies I was never sure what it was trying to do) but Banshees sounds like a must see. I will try to force myself, as an older white male, to watch Till and Descendant, because I feel it is so important to face up to these truths, but I have to admit it is very hard. I also have to admit I didn't make it thru 12 Years. It's hard. And so very depressing.
Hey Ty, think I remember writing you a note a long time go about the befuddling Billboards. I saw the Cripple of Inishmaan on Broadway, thud. Now have to see the Banshees of Inisherin. Irish wife was excited you liked it.
Ty, I love the interesting links that you often post in your reviews. For example, the recent one on pulp art in 1950's books and this current one the use of the dolly zoom. These new things that I learn from you place you on a different level from other critics! Thanks.
We went because we are huge fans of John Douglas Thompson. He didn't disappoint as Emmett's great uncle. Yes, the story is painful to watch but the movie is beautifully powerful. I don't know how Chinonye Chukwu could have done a better job of telling Mamie Mobley's story. You could focus on how little progress we have made toward racial justice or be inspired by the courage and strength of Mamie Mobley.
