Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri (2017)
Best film I've seen in a long time.
This film is amazing. Some people have criticised it for plot holes and unrealism but it's a FILM! It's not a documentary, it doesn't have to be accurate or realistic. And as films should be but are not so much theses days, it is highly entertaining. It grips you. It is very funny in places, very sad in others. It makes you catch your breath. The acting is wonderful. I can't recommend it enough and even if you come away from it not having particularly enjoyed as much as I did, you won't forget it.
Motherland (2016)
Brilliant.
I was losing hope of finding something to really make me laugh since I binge-watched This Country. I like documentaries as well as comedies and that's all I could find to watch. But most of those at the moment follow pretty depressing themes and there's only so many you can take before you need some light relief. So I kept flicking through and trying to find a decent comedy I hadn't seen yet. None were really engaging me until I begrudgingly gave Motherland a try. I laughed out loud - alot- at the honest, good old British humour. Classic and fresh at the same time. I'm 45 now but it still rings true of life when I was a young mother, many moons ago. I'm currently sitting up at three in the morning, trying to stave off sleep, watching series one, episode five, as I've become addicted to it. I'm trying not to wake my partner with my laughter in the process. Definitely worth a watch. I believe it's written by Sharon Horgan which makes total sense.
