Classified as a 'Comedy/Drama' this is a tour-de-force performance by Rosa Byrne ('Linda') of a Therapist who's slowly losing her grip.
The comedy, in the increasing knowledge that she's in no position to be giving advice, the varying degrees of problems her patients come to her with, the symmetrical aspects of her own family and others, the slow unravelling of her life as small incidents become gradually larger, and the surprise appearances by Christian Slater and Conan O'Brian add to it all.
I'll give no spoilers or plot points, merely that if there's an Oscar for Best Actress this year it better be her.

This was actually brilliant, a madcap time-travelling movie set in Japan when the owner of a cafe discovers a two minute gap in the monitor in his cafe and the monitor in his apartment. His future self appears in the cafe monitor to advise him what he must do, soon his friends find out and things get out of hand. More or less hilarious, and for a low-budget high concept film does an amazing job.
Brilliant. And I sure and the hell appreciate the plot wrap up - no 3 season's of "Dark" or (How many seasons?) of "The Umbrella Academy" for a completely unsatisfactory resolution to the time-travelling paradoxes, this finishes well.

I finally finished this. While well written it was getting pretty old towards the end, my media diet as of late has not been one to inspire me and I feel that these TV series just suck up your time without ever delivering on the premises...
Anyways, maybe back to just watching films for the moment, there has to have been something new drop recently...

And I'm actually quite enjoying this. German, with English subtitles, on Season 2, about a town that relies upon a Nuclear Power Plant that is experiencing a rash of inexplicable disappearances.
SPOILER AHEAD

Now I've referred to this abundantly in the past, but do so again only because I'm trying to redeem myself in the eyes of my daughter, who's come to query my taste in films following "Sisu".
So, in longstanding tradition of families doing inane things over the holidays I'm trying to persuade everyone that "Hobo with a Shotgun" be our Thanksgiving movie.
I mean, it's not particularly upbeat, but it does have it's moments...
The daughter, she's refusing to even watch the trailer.
You can watch it here...https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0J4xu0CuCOw
Or, better yet, watch this 2 minute scene taken directly from the movie (the Plague): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZtAolowtI3c
I suspect she's watched it and is refusing to respond because to do so would mean acknowledging my impeccable taste...
