The Top 8 Categories Heading Into The Holiday Break
Does a lavish musical, directed by a previous AMPAS winner, starring Meryl Streep, and debuting at Christmas with the full might of the Disney marketing machine behind it really need a Please Watch? Methinks they’ll get to it. While we’re at it, AMPAS, please don’t forget to watch another tiny, under-promoted gem: Unbroken.
Two Days, One Night is an amazing film very touching and honest about solidarity.
Unbroken might well be good (I don’t know, I haven’t seen it yet), but to see it described as a “tiny, under promoted gem” is just TOO daft! It’s not been under promoted and it’s certainly not tiny!
The real gem that’s falling under the radar is Leviathan.
