That film still isn't playing anywhere near me.

The thing that bugs me about the outcry for female directors to be nominated for Best Director is that all they talk about is Greta Gerwig and Little Women. Nobody mentions Lulu Wang for The Farewell, Alma Har'el for Honey Boy or Jennifer Kent for The Nightingale.
Finally Portrait is beginning to go wider, it's starting to play in NJ now but the closest theater is an hour and a half away. Hopefully it makes its way closer to me in the next few weeks. It's really the only big 2019 release I still want to see before working on my best of 2019 list.
