Sing Street
A boy growing up in Dublin during the 1980s escapes his strained family life by starting a band to impress the mysterious girl he likes.
This movie is extremely entertaining and enjoyable to watch. The music is good and so is the acting and dialogue. Really an endearing film and a must see.
It Comes At Night
Secure within a desolate home as an unnatural threat terrorizes the world, a man has established a tenuous domestic order with his wife and son. Then a desperate young family arrives seeking refuge.
This is one of those movies where it's best to know very little going into it. There is very little exposition and the movie urges the viewer to try and figure out everything that is happening for themselves. Often times figuring one thing out only leads to more questions.
Well acted, paced well, and well worth the watch.
Good Night Mommy(Ich Seh Ich Seh)
Twin boys move to a new home with their mother after she has face changing cosmetic surgery, but under her bandages is someone the children don't recognize.
Good Night Mommy is an Austrian horror film. Everytime I watch it I am unsettled. The movie does not rely on jump scares at all and chooses to make the viewer increasingly more uncomfortable. Their isn't much dialogue so even if
subtitles aren't your thing it really shouldn't be much of an issue. Go watch it.
A Ghost Story
In this singular exploration of legacy, love, loss, and the enormity of existence, a recently deceased, white-sheeted ghost returns to his suburban home to try to reconnect with his bereft wife.
Yeah I know it looks spooky but it's really not. I promise I didn't include yet another scary movie in this list. The shots can look really scary sometimes but it really isn't one. This is one of those movies with a real interesting and clever concept. Worth seeing.
Your Name(Kimi No Na Wa)
Two strangers find themselves linked in a bizarre way. When a connection forms, will distance be the only thing to keep them apart?
Easily one of the best movies I have seen this year. So good in fact that it's one of the rare movies that I have watched more than once in theaters. I was a bit skeptical at first having to be persuaded to watch it initially but it is easily one of my favorite movies now. The breathtaking animation quality, mixed with an emotionally driven, yet fast paced, story, full of plenty of twists, makes this a must watch. Highly recommend.
