Defiance 2008

Persecuted Jews in Nazi-occupied Eastern Europe escape into the Belorussian forests, where they join Russian resistance fighters, and endeavour to build a village, in order to protect themselves and about one thousand Jewish non-combatants. 

Quite engrossing - Daniel Craig, Liev Schreiber

Should be required watching for millennials, and anyone who identifies as a freedom protestor.

Flee [2021]

The true story of a man, Amin, on the verge of marriage which compels him to reveal his hidden past for the first time. Award winning Danish made animated documentary about fleeing Afghanistan as a refugee while coming out leaves a lasting impression.

Licorice Pizza [2021]

The story of Alana and Gary growing up, running around and going through their first relationship in the San Fernando Valley, early 1970's. Dreamy nostalgic rom-com comes across as authentic fiction with two good leads both in their first feature, some odd cameos distract, strictly for those not averse to the genre, nothing outstanding here.

Here Before [2021]

When a new family moves in next door to a woman and her family, their young daughter quickly captivates her, stirring up painful memories of her own daughter who died several years previously. Enjoyable psychological mystery set in Northern Ireland.

Louis Theroux: Forbidden America [2022 TV Limited Series]

Traveling the length and breadth of the United States, Louis meets an assortment of content creators who promote far-right views, self-destructive performers - and porn industry predators - all of whose work involves them promoting and enacting the most risqué, immoral and illegal behavior. Engaging three part documentary done in the usual absorbing Theroux way.

The Eyes Of Tammy Faye [2021]

A tiring look at the bizarre rise, fall and redemption of televangelist Tammy Faye Bakker, wife of fraudster Jim Bakker. Overly melodramatic biopic showcases the lead actor potential but this story is too weird for most, an indictment of Americas peculiar evangelical right and ironically Hollywood's need to cash in further retelling it.

Mothering Sunday [2021]

A maid living in post-World War I England secretly plans to meet with the man she sleeps with before he leaves to marry another woman. Wonderfully photographed period drama, great performances, with a touch more skin on show than normal for the genre. Worth seeing.
