From Dave Cinzano's list above I watched Notes On Blindness.I had been feeling rather sorry for myself because the doc has told me that I am already succumbing to osteo-arthritis.Now I'm thinking hurrah I still have my sight.Apart from being a salutary watch for hypochondriacs such as myself there was some uplifting stuff about blind people being able to "see " in the rain and an encounter with God.I liked this film.

It's not any old period though is it? And why give it such a precise title if you're only going to shit on the content?
I've not read any reviews yet but I will now.
Yeh,see, that was another thing - going to the trouble to include Gaelic. Why bother, given the content?

Ah, I hadn't thought of that and you're right. The title does suggest a healthier regard for history doesn't it? It didn't occur to me though and the film is so OTT in places it's more like a Bollywood western so I just took it for the entertainment value.

More details please!
It's an Irish film about a lad who gets sent down for the first time. It's almost documentary like and ime very true to life in terms of his vulnerability as a kid on his first sentence. It feels almost like the sort of film they would (or maybe should) show to kids at risk of becoming involved in criminal activity or on induction wing.
It's good but very bleak, which is maybe the point.
I watched it specifically because it had that title, hence being so fucked off with it!
I struggle trying to summarise without spoilerage, sorry Orang Utan . Thought you might just trust me

Do you mean Catfight, from the list? (Sandra Oh & Anna Heche) - watched it last night. Certainly unforgettable, not perfect, but what is? Wondering who did the paintings.

I'll probably have to go back to it now Santa Clarita has been cancelled.

Quoting myself here as I had meant The Intervention in my post above, not The Invitation. I watched The Invitation last night and found it gripping and tense, and a fairly decent horror film overall.
Also watched Snowpiercer and as many others have already said ITT, it’s a great sci-fi film. Really watchable.

I watched The Intervention and What Keeps You Alive. Both pretty good.
The Intervention is an entertaining ensemble comedy with some great acting and WKYA is a taut and exciting thriller which has a really stupid "oh no for fuck's sake DON'T DO THAT!!!" but somehow still manages to deliver.

Look out, he's got a gnu!
Await Further Instructions was surprisingly good, a few flaws but a solid seven or eight out of ten.
Reviews on IMDb seem to absolutely hate it sadly.

Have watched 4 episodes of 'Dead to Me' - quite good so far. When the first episode ended it felt like it was all kinda obvious, but the acting is good, the humour is dark AND there are unexpected twists and turns after that. Having to stop myself from binge watching it all in one go!
