First Reformed 2017
Solid drama, with some very powerful scenes;
Solid drama, with some very powerful scenes;
Reverend Ernst Toller: Courage is the solution to despair, reason provides no answers. I can't know what the future will bring, We have to choose despite uncertainty. Wisdom is holding two contradictory truths in our mind, simultaneously, Hope and despair. A life without despair is a life without hope. Holding these two ideas in our head is life itself.

'The Favourite' very much keeps in-line within Yorgos' unusual and cutthroat style, while also being totally distinct from his other films (likely because he didn't write it). The dialogue is less (intentionally) stilted than in his other movies, and as a result everything feels less alien. Also: talent all the way through. All the performances were incredible, and both Rachel Weisz and Emma Stone have amazing range (Stone's absolute best performance to date). But the best performance of the year, so far, from what I've seen: has to be Olivia Colman. She manages to weave between so many emotional states in the film, often in the same scene, and does it all without ever coming across as "I AM ACTING" - with also an extraordinary depth of character - completely submerging herself into the role, while holding nothing back in show of suffering.
I'm also happy it incorporated female power dynamics and lesbianism without once feeling preachy, on-the-nose, or otherwise influenced by lame identity politics. Not to mention the film is hardcore to the BONE. Very subtle too; it catches you like a vice. It sneaks up, messes with your head, and then floors you. I really didn't expect to be as thoroughly enthralled as I was (superb ending).
Fish-bowl shots galore.
(might switch either way on the pendulum based on a second viewing. I dunno.)

Leave No Trace 2018
Test your patience slow, but also had a kind of calming effect like a good nature documentary has because of the way it was shot.. slow but beautiful and moving.

Since you've mentioned how your rating scale is different than others, would a translate to a or higher for others???
Besides, I did the maths and a 2.5 out of 4 would be a 3.125 out of 5 - a noticeable difference, but not exactly 3.5 or higher.

Never given it much thought. Capping my scale at 4 It mainly means that I save 4.5s and 5s for films I find particularly exceptional rather than just really good. To this end, I still use 2.5 as the centre of the 5-point scale and mainly use it to denote films that are neither too bad or too good.
