GREENER GRASS – ★★★★☆ – Hilarious film shot in ultra vivid colour with a message about modern life and its ridiculous pitfalls, all wrapped in deep satirical humour. Loved it!

I LOST MY BODY – ★★★★ – Incredible French animation about a hand trying to find its owner’s body, and acting as a sort of guardian angel along the way. Really cleverly done, interspersed with flashbacks to build the story. #MIFF2019

BELLINGCAT: TRUTH IN A POST-TRUTH WORLD – ★★☆ – Interesting topic for a documentary, talking about people who are voluntary truth seekers using social media to try and piece together evidence around various world events. The film itself was poorly strung together, jumping all over the place, and not really delivering the message it could have. #MIFF2019

Congrats to #ciaobroadsheet for making the only ad that I don’t mind seeing again after the 20-somethingth time at #MIFF2019 https://shop.broadsheet.com.au/products/the-broadsheet-italian-cookbook

THE WHISTLERS – ★★★ – Not terrible Romanian crime drama that kind of lost me in regards to who was who and what side(s) they were on. Couple of issues around the use of whistling to communicate – why not use encrypted messaging? And, when they *could* use whistling, like in the last scene, why didn’t they? #MIFF2019
