June Again (2020)
Such a great, funny, thoughtful movie!
This is one of the best movies I've seen in a long, long time. And totally unexpected, too: I went to see it in the cinema because it was running at a time that was convenient (ie I was going to the cinema anyway) and other movies were too action-y for my liking. So I didn't expect much. But it was SO good! Funny, and thoughtful, and relatable, and kind of... warm and fuzzy, but not in a stupid way. Believable dialogue, and smart characters.
If this movie was a person, I'd want to give it a hug.
Litsid: The Whores (2018)
Interesting historical drama!
I found this being played on... New Zealand public television, of all places! I really liked it. A bit slow at first, but then it gets interesting enough that you just want to see one more episode, and then one more, and one more... Gives a lovely historical context to something that many people have been taught about in school - WW2 and how warring nations occupied and bombed Northern Europe - but seeing it through the eyes of prostitutes is much more memorable than seeing a documentary, I think. Well worth a look! A couple of verrrrry cringy moments though, such as Mrs Falkenberg trying to speak in Estonian with a "German accent" - please just hang in there. These moments will pass :)
Prime (2005)
An "intelligent" rom com
An "intelligent" romantic comedy - basically, something you can watch without having to get embarrassed about it. And, hello!, Meryl Streep. Except there's a whole bunch of good acting BESIDES Meryl Streep. I actually cannot think of a single character that was "off"... Love almost everything about it.
Enough Said (2013)
An amazing dialogue & a smart rom com
Probably my favorite movie of all time! I absolutely adore the dialogue. Love it, love it, love it.
Ükssarvik (2019)
A fun, easy watch
This movie made me laugh! A sort of a dorky, good-natured humour. It makes fun of Estonians and saunas (but, seriously, can you go to a sauna on a bus? Whilst travelling!?) and programmers and startups. A fun, easy watch. Get the English subtitles tho - there's a lot of Estonian.
