Have you seen the Spencer Tracey original? If so, how does this compare?

Tbh I couldn't got past the barrier of the Crowe casting to watch it.

It's very very different TBH, I love that BTW.

It's got a fairly Oppenheimer feel about this in some ways. It's like Nazi v America cos play, its a watchable film but feels like its trying too hard.

Saw Marty Supreme today. Really enjoyed it. Reminded me of Uncut Gems. Timothée Chalamet plays a right clam but he was very good and probably deserves the Oscar.

I was happily surprised. Very very allegoric in a sense. The two main male leads are several degrees of wan-ker. Great storytelling.

Thought The Surfer was good. Set in Oz with a couple of the Mr Inbetween actors.

Going to see it tomorrow. Mr GL has read the book and seen the play, both of which he enjoyed. Just hope he's not too disappointed with the film.

Its ok, but its not AMAZING IMO, she steals the show, which is why there is hype for it, rightly so.

On the subject of films up for awards, I went to Sentimental Value last week, thought it was excellent, all the main actors superb.

Nice, will give it a go.

Not sure if its award worthy, but seen people rave about the Clooney film Jay Kelly, decent watch but not sure its award worthy

Not sure I’d watch it again but Stellan Skaarsgard deserved all the praise and awards he’s going to get and Renate Reinsve was also excellent as was the actress who played her sister (don’t know her name).

That’s two films in a row where Chalamat has played a clam; A Complete Unknown and Marty Supreme. Strange as he seems like a nice guy. Shows he’s a brilliant actor I guess.
