Lowww 😕

I liked them all this year. Each one was heavier than the previous. Once we got to the end, I figured the last one couldn't be any lower... sure enough.

But I really loved them all.

If I had to pick a winner? Please Hold. (On My Mind - RU).

What a downer!

Impeccable as the filmcraft in all these is, their unrelieved pessimism makes them a chore to sit through. Their common theme is that gangsterism in some form always prevails in the end. Even the well deserved knock on the prison-industrial complex in "Please Hold" beats the horse long after it has died. Thank you for nothing!

One impression that was left

If I had to rank: 1. Take and Run 2. Please Hold 3. The Long Goodbye 4. The Dress 5. On my Mind 1. Felt like an actual film but I never like the " Did you know" quotes at the end.

2. was relevant to the course of tech if we are not careful 3. Good take away was the way it was told; slow to extremely fast. But super Woke (Most likely will win) 4.just all around sad.

5. pointless sentiment

I was expecting more from this years picks. The one impression it left on me as i walked out of a nearly empty theater was even I could make one of these. Probably should.
