I've been on a tear the last month.
Arrival - I liked it a lot. Clever script, beautifully shot, excellent acting. For such a big sci-fi flick, it's pretty understated. I'm a big Amy Adams fan, so getting to watch her work for 2 hours is enough for me.
Moonlight - This might be the best movie of the year. A really beautiful story and a voice that doesn't get heard much.
Loving - Another really touching story. I appreciate the filmmakers resisting the urge to turn this into a courtroom drama or a Disney-style story of this couple "overcoming the odds." Instead it's a movie really about these two people, who they were, and how they dealt with a terrible experience.
20th Century Women - A lot funnier than I thought it would be. It didn't blow me away but it's a well crafted movie with good performances and captures a time and place.
