Play is way better than Force Majeure, and this is much more like Play. I love it.

Would be thrilled to see Lil Rel Howery get an Oscar nod tbh.

Is that the new one by the director of Force Majeure? I liked FM, but the reviews I've read of this one (both positive and negative) make it sound fairly insufferable, I gotta say.
"Insufferable" is a good response to The Square. It tries to Say Something about inequality and the media outrage cycle, but gets bogged down in liberal cringe. And it reaffirms my belief that every movie that comes in at over 2 hours should be taken out of the director's hands and cut to 90 minutes.
― I, Fanbrat (j.lu), Tuesday, 21 November 2017 02:51 (six years ago) link
regardless of how bad The Square is it can't be as stupid as that "belief".
― Susan Stranglehands (jed_), Tuesday, 21 November 2017 03:44 (six years ago) link
"every" is too doctrinaire, but wd've helped with Blade Runner 2049

Not an intensely impressive slate afaic.
Unless Jane is about Goodall, I've never even heard of any of these.
Only doc I've seen so far this year is the Gilbert Gottfried one, but haven't there been some notable ones? The Wiseman NYPL thing, for instance?
