Some Lockdown Viewing


Have enjoyed Mrs America, Varda's One Sings, The Other Doesn't (1977), Prevenge (2016) (and its antecedent, Crimes Without Passion (1934)), and Screaming Mimi (1958). Have been disappointed by a bunch of quite highly praised 2010s films: Obvious Child (2014), Slow West (2015), Victoria (2016). Recent films that were poor: Emma., Underwater, Birds of Prey, the latter two of which I'd describe as ill-conceived & incompetent.
