The Souvenir (2019)
People, this is just Part 1!
I saw a lot of complaints about the anti-climactic(?) ending, but Nymphomaniac Part 1 for example had an abrupt one too. Is it necessary that every movie/episode to be a shot of adrenaline until the next part/episode comes out? have a little patience and wait for the sequel...
Having said that, this movie has EXCELLENT cinematography (amazing colors, great scenery and still frames), REALISTIC (finally) dialogues which you rarely see in movies, plus, it communicates effectively (aka by SHOWING LACONICALLY) what it is to be in a codependent and therefore toxic relationship and its severe implications.
I can understand not finding the subject particularly interesting or engaging (part of the reason I didn't rate it 10/10), but it's a movie, it's cinema at the end of the day...
If those things I mentioned above are not enough to like a film, i don't know what will be.
The Good Neighbor (2016)
Thought he was the "13 Cameras" guy...
...which is ironic considering who we think that old man is during the movie and who he really is. Turns out it had nothing to do with him and I discovered a very suspenseful mystery/thriller. Very good/believable acting, liked the past-present flashbacks which serve to make cool plot twists in the movie.
