Noughts + Crosses (2020)
Good show
Ignore the downvote trolls, watch this if you're into the subject matter . Is it perfect ? No. But it's worth a watch
Watchmen (2019)
Great watch, bound to anger the easily angered
First off, IGNORE the very angry trolls . Within 5 seconds of watching this, i knew it would anger them, and for obvious reasons The show doesnt is unapologetic in the way it puts forward issues . Its a great watch, well made, riveting and true to the tone of Alan Moore's work. Very recommended
Capharnaüm (2018)
One of the best performances I have seen from a child actor
Without spoiling - this movie is superb. Go see it. If not for the subject matter or genre, go see it for one of the best performances I've seen a child actor give, if not the best, masterful work. Somehow the director managed to pull a great performance from a toddler!
Zhan lang II (2017)
Cringe-fest
As an african watching this film, with many chinese friends and close associates, this was possibly one of the most cringey experiences i have had. Leave the constant referral to the natives as simply africans , as if they do not possess a nationality, leave the almost insulting pro-chinese propaganda( and yes, i hate pro-american propaganda films too, before anyone starts about that) , this would be overlookable if the film actually had good camera work and story.
BUT NO. The camera work and story all look like something out of a cheap youtube sketch. The only thing keeping this thing afloat are the set pieces, which, due to the terrible camera work and almost laughable story, stop them from having any real weight. If this film was from anywhere else it would be rated lower than 5 for most people.
Should you watch this , if you are looking for a good Chinese/ Asian action movie? No. There are literally tonnes of better ,do your self a favor and start off with something like "Infernal Affairs" and "Let the bullets fly" or if its not action, anything by Jia Zhangke who is a master of filmmaking in my opinion, and also Chinese
Dont watch this
