I Don't Feel at Home in This World Anymore (2017)


I'm normally not a huge fan of mixing horror with comedy but this was much better than expected. I thought the casting was great and script was genuinely funny. It was a fair bit gorier than I expected which was an added bonus. Overall, to its credit, it actually felt like a Ben Wheatley film.


Well worth watching.

You rated it slightly higher than I did, although I agree about the Wheatley reference. I like Macon Blair and I like the Duplass brotehrs' output. It didn't strike a chord with me though. I found it too unbalanced.

I do like Blair also but I'll admit I've never even heard of the Duplass brothers! I'll check them out.

Mommy (2014, Xavier Dolan)


This is a stunningly well acted and directed film, especially considering Dolan was only 25 years old at the time of its making. All three leads - Anne Dorval, Antoine-Olivier Pilon and Suzanne Clement - deliver fantastic performances imparting tangible authenticity and relatability to their characters but, to me, Kyla (Suzanne Clement) was probably the most interesting personality. Alienated and detached from her own family and hungry for genuine human interaction, she forms a quirky but beautifully natural bond with a troubled widowed mother and her violent ADHD-suffering son living across the street. Her background is never fully disclosed which lends a special aura of mysteriousness to her character, only amplified by her introverted ways and a speech problem. The final scene of parting between Diane and Kyla is incredible and worth the price of admission alone - so achingly humane, psychologically insightful and emotionally overwhelming.
Great film!

I liked her.

To be fair, you have to have a fairly high IQ to understand MovieForums.com.

I was luke warm on Greg McClean turning a killer crocodile into Jaws, but turning Crocodile Dundee into a slasher villain is simply too hysterical not to enjoy. Sure, it's pretty much The Texas Chain Saw Massacre, but the Australian landscapes are a mystical backdrop, the lore of the character is fascinating, and the leads are passable when it comes to investing yourself in horror movie fodder. I'm fully aware that my appreciation for this movie might be slightly inflated by my giddiness that something that should be a parody exists as a serious horror movie. I'm okay with that. We can chalk this one up to wish fulfillment.
