At the BALLAD OF A SMALL PLAYER Q&A the director Edward Berger and stars Colin Farrell and Fala Chen talked about their process of making this film about addiction in Macau.
For me Macau was the true star of the film - gorgeous, moody, mysterious and made me want to see more of it.

At THE HOUSE OF DYNAMITE Q&A director Kathryn Bigelow said that with the film and its Rashomon structure she wanted to explore what competent people can and cannot do in 19 minutes to save the US and the World.
I felt like with many other Netflix flicks the production process was too rushed.

At the FRANKENSTEIN Q&A director Guillermo del Toro said he was preparing to make this film for 25 years.
He might have been overprepared. The film was gorgeous in all departments, each actor gave their 100% but I missed surprise, spontaneity and the mess that comes with creating Art or Life.

After the screening of HAMNET I was thrilled to meet one of my favorite composers Max Richter and the director of my fave A DIARY OF A TEENAGE GIRL Marielle Heller. Dreams do come true sometimes!

GOOD BOY is not a scary movie although it is marketed as horror. It is a metaphorical drama of existential anxiety. The dog Indie is a stunning actor and I really did not appreciate that in the appendix the director revealed the secrets of Indie's magic.
The movie certainly has a great poster.

After LITTLE AMELIE (what a gorgeous film!) screening co-directors Maïlys Vallade and Liane-Cho Han said they felt the world today could benefit from being looked at through the lens of a 3-year old, full of wonder and amazement at beauty and fragility of it.
Perhaps. Depends of the 3-year old.
