"I Don't Feel At Home in This World Anymore"

What an original movie. A young nurse (Malenie Lynskey)  has her house robbed. She is so obsessed about people not caring for each other she goes on a rampage. A neighbor (Elijah Woods) hooks up with her and the two of them go out to recover her stollen items. It's a little bit over the top (a bit like a Tarantino movie) as far a the graphic violence, but it's quite a wild ride. I thoroughly enjoyed it.

"Clouds of Sils Maria".

Not a movie for those looking for an action film. This is a slow moving drama about an older actress (Juilette Binoche) who is invited to play the older role of a couple she played as the younger girl, twenty years earlier.. She has an extremely capable personal assistant who helps her learn her lines for a remake of the play. The two have amazing chemistry and it earned Kristen Stewart the the honor of being the first American to win the French Cesar Award (for best supporting actress). As typical of French films, the movie leaves you hanging at the end, so don't expect a resolution. (Maybe that was a spoiler. Sorry)

"The Ghost Writer"

Nice subtle thriller. A writer, (Ewan McGregor) is hired to be a ghost writer to a former Prime Minister,(Pierce Brosnan) who's working on his autobiography. The previous writer is found dead of an apparent suicide. Then things get interesting. I won't reveal any more of the plot, but I have to say, the acting, cinematography, scenery, and soundtrack make for a very enjoyable two hours.

"iBoy"

Very interesting Netflix original film. It's a sci-fi revenge themed movie. A young kid walks in on an rape scene and is chased by a gang of attackers. He's shot in the head and as a result, ends up with extraordinary powers. He can tap into the internet, cell phone conversations, and much more. He goes on a mission to avenge the girl's attackers, along with the drug lords who rule his London neighborhood. While somewhat predictable, the movie is very well done.

"Last Cab to Darwin"

Just a wonderful sleeper of a film. An old Australian bloke finds out he has cancer so he goes on a road trip to get treatment. This movie is just full of surprises and is totally delightful. I know it sounds depressing, but it's a great movie. Give it a chance. It's worth an hour and a half of your time.

"Camp X-Ray"

This is one intense movie. It's about a young female enlistee in the army who's assigned to Gitmo. She's ordered not to have any contact with the "detainees", since they're not prisoners. If they were classified as prisoners, they'd have to follow the Geneva Code. She relates to one of the detainees  and the story goes on from there. Great acting and a very subtle storyline--which, as my daughters know, I love.

"Burn, Burn, Burn"

What a subtle yet powerful movie. It's a story about two women who are charged with spreading the ashes of a recently deceased friend. It's a road movie that is full of self-discovery. They have to scatter the ashes in various locations through ought Great Britain that are meaningful to their dead friend. At each location they play a video where their friend reveals the importance of the place. The acting is wonderful and the cinematography is gorgeous. It's very slow moving but you get caught up in the pace of the movie.
