It's Oscar season again, and I'm having fun catching up on those films that got nominated for big awards but I haven't yet seen. Most recently I finally saw both Marriage Story and The Two Popes on Netflix, and actually ventured out to a theater (call me old fashioned) to see Parasite. Of those three, I enjoyed Marriage Story and Parasite best, as they were bracing, involving dramas with some big and/or surprising moments. The Two Popes was very good, too, if a little bit predictable and polite. All are very much worth seeing, though.
Once Upon a Time... In Hollywood was also a favorite from the past year, but you can read what I said about that one by scrolling down a few posts. And I should get around to writing something about Joker and The Irishman, both of which I enjoyed, too.
I still need to focus on seeing 1917 (the current frontrunner, based on all the other industry awards its already won); Ford v Ferrari; Little Women; and Jojo Rabbit. Then I will have at least seen all the Best Picture nominees, which is something I like to do every year if at all possible. Wish me luck!
