All The Money In The World (dir. Scott)
It’s hard not to be bewildered by the immeasurable greed of John Paul Getty
Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri (dir. McDonagh)
This story of ugly yet truthful characters is an utterly hilarious yet touching tale.
Brigsby Bear (dir. McCary)
This quirky, silly and light hearted appropriately-deranged story is an absolute treat.
Molly’s Game (dir. Sorkin)
Sorkin makes an admirable directorial debut but ironically his writing suffers and we get a Wolf of Wall Street wanna-be.
The Disaster Artist (dir. Franco)
A heartfelt, hilarious tale of one of cinemas greatest disasters that is still being marvelled at over 10 years later.
Battle of The Sexes (dir. Dayton. Faris)
“Male Chauvinist Pig vs Hairy Legged Feminist” thoroughly entertains in this stranger than fiction story.
