Recommended movies etc on Netflix/Amazon Prime II

Currently enjoying a movie "The Scapegoat" on Prime - I'd never heard of it, but we're about 1/2 way though and it's a really interesting premise and very well done.

‘Nomadland’ is on Disney +, stunning film stuffed with brilliant performances from the entire cast. Highly recommended.

The Rider was very good as well.

Agree wholeheartedly. Frances McDormand is excellent, as she was in the other Oscar-winning film ‘Three Billboards outside Ebbing, Missouri’.

Yes, I thought her performance in this was even better, very understated & believable.

We thought Nomadland was superb. It was a rare pleasure to see a film where folks are actually nice to each other, and Francis McDormand was wonderful.

I saw Nomadland as more of a documentary than a Movie, maybe that’s testament to its success?

Frances ability to interact with non actors shared a kindness that seemed fundamental to the message of the film.

Loved Nomadland. She is truly a wonderful actor. We watched that and then watched Some kind of Heaven which is a documentary about the Florida Villages retirement community. Also well worth a watch.

The character who lost his son was heartbreaking at the end.

Neither Netflix/AP, but I'm half way through season 4 of Snowfall (BBC iPlayer). Still compulsive viewing.

Fargo 4 on Ch4, not quite up there with the others but enjoyably nuts/quirky none the less.

Having been interested in the Nomad movement in the states and watched quite a few YouTube docs I fail to fathom how Nomadland copped a few Baftas-ok maybe deserved something for the clever editing but it left me with a big 'what was the point?' Given there are real people with real stories far more resonant than the fictionalised one they prop up.

Watched Nomadland for the second time last night and enjoyed it as much if not more. For me it’s a sign of the times and times to come, for better and for worse.
Highly recommended.

Re Fargo 4: Chris Rock is a crap actor and an even worse stand-up “comedian.”

So have you watched Fargo 4, you'll love him in that

 

[Kirk]

The Mauritanian on Prime is decent.

"So have you watched Fargo 4, you'll love him in that"
Yeah, all of it. As a gangster Chris Rock had the presence and cred of a primary school bully. But apart from him, F4 is still watchable.

Watched Mr pip on Amazon. Hugh Lawrie superb , gritty and 9/10

Palmer on Apple TV

Really good film. The wife & I really enjoyed it

I just watched Love, Death and Robots season 2 on Netflix - stunning content, but only 8 short episodes

Just onto Ep 2, the first series was brilliant pity this is so short, S3 due 2022 though.

Life Hutch and Snow in the Desert looked like real humans.
