The Red Turtle
Superb animation from Studio Ghibli. It has no dialogue making it all the more amazing that it's compelling through to the end.
The story is fairly straightforward. How they tell it is sublime.
Thanks for that - it's currently on Amazon Prime Video so I will watch it over the weekend. Superb animation from Studio Ghibli. It has no dialogue making it all the more amazing that it's compelling through to the end.

Pirates of Caribbean - Salazaar's revenge
A dreadful turd of a film.
To be honest its what i expected but having not watched one since the first half of the third one I thought it may have improved. It hasn't. Don't watch it.
The first one was fun. The second one had me rolling my eyes, and I don't think I have watched another. Disney really seem to be milking it - how many are they up to now?A dreadful turd of a film.

The Post.
Spotlight was a real highlight for me a couple of years ago, so perhaps that ruined this for me.
Very polished, very Hollywood, very Speilberg is how i’d summarise it. Streep and Hanks are immaculate, the cinematography is excellent. However the screenplay is clumsy, and characters have no depth. The feminism element is dealt with incredibly ham fistedly. For me, this film was instantly forgettable, which is a real shame as the story is not.
5/10.
