Kneecap

More people need to see this!

It's a lot of fun.

I didn’t like the way it ended personally

Kneecap; best subtitles EVER!

Brilliant film!

Enjoyed Scrapper last night. Bit slow at times but ultimately found it endearing

Described by someone on Letterboxd as if aftersun and the florida project had a cute little baby

just watched kneecap after the recommendations upthread, great music, great story

great film

Really enjoyed The Substance, very very funny. Quite the ride!

I implore anyone who enjoyed The Substance to watch Society if you haven't already.

Indeed.

The ending look really felt like an homage to Society to me.

Wild Robot. V good kid friendly film animation is wonderful on it too.

Got that up next for me looking forward to it

Heard so many good things. MIL took my 7yo to see it and I’m annoyed now as I want to see it!

The Substance easily best film of the year. Wildly enjoyable.

Wild robot is just such lovely easy watching. If you get a lazy Sunday afternoon to yourself it's perfect . Looking forward to the substance 👍

Rewatched Point Break the other night (the original, not the remake). Forgot how incredible it is, both moments of legit excellence and insane cheese.

10/10 would watch keanu drop kick a dog again.

Oh and watched A Field in England last night. Lots of people told me it was shite so I wasn’t expecting much from it, mostly chose it because of the short run time. Was pleasantly surprised.

Watched the latest Paddington, was disappointed.

It was ok but didn't have the charm of its predecessors. Could have been any generic kids character.

Did you go to the cinema to see the 4k restoration? I'm tempted.
Also didn't know there was a remake...

The Substance easily best film of the year.

It's not easily if you haven't watched Kneecap, but they're both very good.

The Substance, just wow. Thought it was fantastic but maybe half an hour too long, OH couldn't handle the end of the movie, I told her she wouldn't be able to handle Society if she couldn't manage that.

Although The Substance' message falls a little flat what with the constant close ups for the Male gaze

Kneecap is on BFI rental for £16. That seems quite steep. I think previously been £10 for current releases. I also wish BFI did discounts, even small ones, on the rental cost for subscribers. Although I guess the argument is you subscribe to get free access to subscription only.

The arse close ups? There were a lot of them, weren't there? I loved the tone, the photography and the art direction, very stylised and claustrophobic. It felt like a student film, in a good way, amazing that it's a mainstream release.

The arse close ups indeed!

Did you see the Kubrik influence? The long hallway carpet at the studio? The lobby with the numbered lockers and geometric floor patten etc. Plus more
