Fall is excellent, best film I've seen in ages and very much reminded me of Frozen (not that one).

I think I watched this the other night, two women up a tall pole yeah.  I have issues with heights so kept squirming in chair and looking away.

Hunters cleavage made it more bearable

With no football to watch I decided to give this a go , did not expect much but was pleasantly surprised. Quite dark and amazing that you consider Sly is now 75. Never going to win an Oscar but a good take on the superhero genre and worth a look. Not sure of its comic book origins ? Maybe @Chindiecould shed some light 💡

It's based on an independent comic from about 10 years ago. I actually know almost nothing about it beyond that - the fact it was released by a very niche publisher and doesn't seem to have got any traction whatsoever suggests it's not a great comic.

I'd guess it's been made as a film because the rights will have cost absolutely nothing and it probably wasn't terribly expensive to make - I understand it's a 'street level' kinda hero, and there's not likely to be any huge CGI costs or a big cast, so it's probably a small budget with a view to selling to a stream giant. Which they did. Easy money.

Cheers, Worth a watch regardless 👍

India Song (Marguerite Duras) - Set in an old mansion with disembodied voices, narrating the story, has a ghostly feel to it, simialr to Marienbad.

The Reckless Moment (Max Ophüls) - Different to the other Ophüls films I've seen, less decadent looking, I guess the story didn't call for it, but still good.

See How They Run - good fun, (very) self-aware whodunit, Knives Out vibes to it.

I've still not seen knives out but have seen that the new one which comes to netflix in december is getting really good reviews

there was KO and the gentleman released around about the same time (or at least available at the same time...) and i wanted to watch both and 3 years later i still havent watched either

Saw this tonight at the Everyman. Can’t remember the last time I heard a whole cinema laugh as one so much during a film. Smart (without being too smart), knowing and with as many good lines as performances. Loved it.

I watched it the other night and enjoyed it despite its shortcomings.

Well this was a fairly uncomfortable watch, heights is not my thing.

Fall (2022) - IMDb

I watched the trailer. That was enough.
It could be the best film ever made but my stress levels were through the roof after a minute. Not for me.
