[QUOTE="Werewillie Oleson, post: 445760, member: 8"] [B]Good Boy (2026)[/B] [ATTACH type="full"]59802[/ATTACH] The title and poster should give you [I]some [/I] idea what this story is about and that was also the reason why I decided to watch it. Stephen Graham isn't the kind of actor who appears in trash so that kinda worked as an additional assurance. The spoilery poster doesn't really matter because this film isn't about big plot twists or trying to be as outrageous as possible. The story develops organically and this time the tragedy from the past is unmentioned. It's hard to imagine why they would choose a criminal person like Tommy but after a while I realised that the X improved the Y. I think the best part of the film is the way it challenges the viewer in terms of morals and justification, while the creepiness of the circumstances keeps it juicy. The ending is terrific precisely because it isn't perfect, and again it's a thing that makes you wonder "how do I [I]feel[/I] about it?" Some of the most tense moments are in the seemingly neutral scenes with the youngest actor. The permanent smile on his face is simply devastating (move over, lame-ass [I]Smile [/I] movies). No matter how you perceive the characters, it's a film with the dark satirical bite we've come to expect from the Scandinavians. Except that [I]Good Boy[/I] is a Polish-British collaboration, with 20+ companies attached to it. Gone are the days of "Paramount Pictures proudly presents", or so it seems. Somehow this film managed to exceed my positive expectations. [B]The Invite (2026)[/B] [ATTACH type="full"]59803[/ATTACH] A superbly acted play that loses some steam shortly after the midpoint when it replaces the seething resentment and entertaining awkwardness with heightened emotions and open hostility. There are "situations" in it that makes it difficult to believe that these four people would choose to stay in the same room but it doesn't overshadow the joy of watching these actors doing what they like to do. The story builds up to something but plays it a little safe in the very last act, although I can appreciate the comfort after the 100+ minutes of neighbours drama. And when all is said and done I'm just grateful that someone made the effort to create an actors-film for adults. It doesn't happen often enough these days. [/QUOTE]
