I just watched The Nightingale by director Jennifer Kent. I wasn’t sure what to expect but it was amazing as it transcends the violence of colonization to focus on the resilience of humans in the midst of pain and suffering and unending loss. This movie is difficult to watch at times because it shows the unimaginably casual violence and dehumanization that comes with colonization which itself involves the subjugation and extermination of those who are seen as “other.” Yet, the human will to survive runs throughout this movie as does the human desire to have a meaningful death on one’s own terms. I thought before I saw this movie that it was the type of movie one would only watch once but it is a movie that I want to see again and again because the focus on the resilience of human beings makes this one of the best movies I have ever seen.

Loved this movie! A great horror movie if you like creature features. I watch a lot of horror and don't normally jump, tense up in my seat for the whole movie, or gasp out loud but I did throughout this movie. Alligators chasing and killing humans on land and in water makes for a terrifying story.

Loved Midsommar. An excellent hortor movie. A slow, unfolding of impending, ritualistic death jarringly juxtaposed with blindingly, brilliant sunlight and celebratory music. A good exploration of grief, despair, and the struggle to survive even before the pagan sacrifices begin.

A disturbing but intense movie

I really enjoyed this movie. I didn't know a lot about the backstory of Queen and Freddy Mercury and this movie did a good job giving some insight into them. The music was absolutely the best part. I had no idea how many of the songs I loved on the radio were sung by Queen until this movie. I immediately bought Queen 's Greatest Hits on iTunes after seeing this movie.

I enjoyed this movie. It was dark and brutal but some of the characters were interesting and I liked the story concept. Immediately after watching, I wanted to watch it again to see what I missed the first time.

Loved this movie. It made me cry, laugh , and feel uplifted by the end. Well worth seeing!
