Sugar (2024)
Much better than you think.
I have to be honest, I wasn't inspecting much however everything about this series is perfect. It's a masterclass in ad-lib, photography, direction and plot. The chemistry on screen between the characters is palpable. And there are quite a few cinematic surprises hidden in there too! I had gotten to the point where I thought that Apple TV was doing too much middle of the road content to please the Netflix masses however it comes back with something like this to prove it is a class above.
It's a really easy lovely binge watch so what are you waiting for? Snuggle up on the sofa, grab a beer and enjoy the storytelling.
Killers of the Flower Moon (2023)
An easy ten, if you know how to watch it.
This film is over three hours long, and it is a masterpiece.
Gven we are in the 21st-century, there's absolutely no chance that most of us will spend 3 1/2 hours watching a film. Which is a shame because if any of us had a longer attention span, then we could probably watch it in one go!
However, break it up into chunks when you need to, and this film will make you emotional and sad and reflective all at the same time. There's very few films that any of us would even consider investing the time and energy into about a store with that we don't know, set a long time ago that doesn't feature people wearing capes or shooting laser beams out of their eyes. However, this is worth the investment.
The performances are easily Oscar-worthy and will most likely be overlooked, as is the photography. If you don't like this film, you don't understand film. If you tend to watch Netflix or Marvel films, then I urge you to take some time sit in the comfortable chair, grab yourself a drink, open your mind, and invest in filmmaking excellence. You will not regret it.
