    If people haven't seen The Vast of Night and The Woman, that needs to be rectified. Really special little movies. The Vast of Night is like a Twilight Zone version of Contact mixed with Welcome to Night Vale. The Woman is kinda indescribable and just astonishing. Lots of great movies here but I'd single out these two.

    You guys pumped up Vast of Night too much. It's just alright. The best film in this group for me is Incendies followed by The Nightingale. Both not easy watches.

    The Woman is in seventh, needs more love quick!

    It's a truly great film, very much a singular experience. You can stream it free here: https://www.popcornflix.com/watch/ch...078d-the-woman

    It was a terrible movie. It needs to be eliminated (and will be) in the first round.

    Finally watched The Nightingale. It was an excellent movie and definitely deserving of moving on.

    Also I wish more people would give Vast of Night a shot.

    It’s just wrong. That movie floored me in so many ways. It’s my all time favourite foreign film.

    I'm glad you gave it a shot. I was on the fence as to whether or not it was going to be your thing.

    You guys had me worried about Nightingale, but I'm glad I gave it a shot. It definitely was not a fun movie, and some of the scenes were very brutal. But that said, it was an excellent film.

    It still shocks me what one human can do to another. I wonder if that will ever change.

    I can't understand how Black Swan moved on with 72, and mother! was left behind in that other bracket

    Ask not what bears can do for you, but what you can do for bears. (razz)
    When one is in agreement with bears one is always correct. (mae)
    bears are back!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    I love Black Swan, and I love Aronofsky, but I did not enjoy Mother!
