1. A Country Called Home
This movie has at the most, 3 stars from people and i honestly just don't get it. I really loved this movie! This movie, in short, is about a a girl named Ellie (Imogen Poots) has to return to her small hometown in Texas after her estranged Father passes away, and has to clean up the mess he left behind. She meets family she never even knew she had, and so many other interesting people. There's drama, sadness, and there's a little bit of humor thrown into the mix.
2. Palm Trees In The Snow
This. Movie. Is. So. Amazing
I went on such an emotional roller coaster whilst watching this film, and by the end i was wanting to watch it all over again! Now i do have to put a little warning in here, this movie is an Spanish, as well contains a lot of violence, and theres quite a bit of sexual content so if you're not into that stuff, feel free not to watch.
This movie is both a romantic and historic journey. It's so intense, and the filming and all the actors were brilliant. This film follows the journey of a woman, who after the death of her father discovers a part of a letter that leaves her with so many unanswered questions and as she decides to search for answers, she takes a journey to the African Island in Spanish Guinee, Fernando Poo, and learns all the secrets of her family.
3. 6 Years
Don't we all love a good teenage love story? Because i know i do.
This movie follows a teenage couple that has been together for 6 years, and now approaching college and huge life changes that threaten their future together.
A lot, of people don't like this movie because it 'romanticizes abusive relationships' but i don't think with this movie that was the case at all, if anything it showed how a woman can be the abuser just as well as the man, it show's how toxic some relationships get. This movie definitely gave me a good cry. There was so much raw emotion in this movie, and almost felt like i was peeking in on private moments, this film seemed so real, it shows the real pain and emotional toll an unhealthy relationship can have. The actors did an amazing job, and i mean i love Taissa Farmiga soo much more after this.
4. In Your Eyes
I'm not too sure if i really love or really hate this movie.. but none the less you have to watch it for yourself and decided It's super interesting, and funny, and original. But on occasion it has it's really bad acting moments, and super awkward and cringey moments. It has such an original concept which i think is super cool. Basically it's about these two strangers on opposite ends of the country who have this telepathic link with each other, that allows each of them to see what the other person is doing.
5. Time Lapse
I wanted to end this post with a thriller, since most of these were more romantic centered films.
This film is about 3 friends who discover this machine that takes photos 24 hours into the future, which they then use for their own personal agendas until some very disturbing and dangerous images develop
I throughly enjoyed every minute of this little sci-fi thriller, there were so many twists and turns that definitely keeps you on the edge of your seat. This movie does have a lot of drugs, alcohol, sex, profanity, and bloody violence, and murder. it's very much a movie you have to be in the mood for, with it's twilight-zone feel.
