Time for some movie recommendations/reviews again. I have been watching a lot and am a bit behind here.

Some absolute gems and a few disappointments.

Fatma 🇹🇷

Turkish short series about a tormented cleaner who goes on a killing spree. Exceptional acting by lead actress in a highly intelligent, intense, and original series. 9/10

Black Crowes 🇸🇦

Long Arabic series that is supposed to portray live in the ISIS Caliphate. Pathetic acting and dramatic music together with thin story makes this boring anti-ISIS propaganda. 4/10

The Fury of a Patient Man 🇪🇸

Spanish thriller about an average Joe waiting patiently to take revenge on a group of violent robbers. Slow but captivating. 8/10

Clickbait 🇺🇸

This is how you make an intelligent crime series. Excellent plot, great twists, well-made, with some smart critiques of contemporary culture. 9/10

Aziza 🇱🇧

Very short movie about a man, a woman, and a car, working through the trauma of loss and refuge. 8/10

Imperial Dreams 🇺🇸

Heart-wrenching movie about a young Black father who tries to do the right thing when he returns for prison but the system is not set up for it. Incredible acting. 10/10

The Climb 🇫🇷

A young Senegalese-French guy from the Paris banlieu climbs the Mt Everest to win over the love of his life. Based on real story, this is an absolutely delightful movie. 9/10

Nigerian Prince 🇺🇸

Nigerian-American teenager is sent to his aunt in Nigeria and gets involved with his scamming cousin. Highly original and well-made movie. 8/10

They Might Comes For Us 🇮🇩

Over the top Indonesian action/slasher movie that gets boring very fast. 3/10

The Squid and the Whale 🇺🇸

Remarkable, almost un-American independent movie about a dysfunctional family dealing with a divorce. Exceptional acting! 9/10

As said, some amazing movies, which you should really watch if you can -- I watched all these movies on Netflix USA.

Tomorrow another batch!
