Alpha is an odd one. It seems to have been released as a kids film (summer holidays release, mostly daytime screenings) but (a) it’s quite intense in places and (b) it’s all in some fictional ancient language and subtitled into English. Enjoyed it a lot, though. Just a nice, simple film. Good dog. Nice cinematography.
Searching was excellent. I don’t really want to say anything more about it because I think you need to go in essentially blind. But it’s really good. Definitely one to see in a halfway busy screen, as well.
Thought Searching was pretty good, though it maybe throws one too many twists into the mix. The opening few minutes got me a bit emotional as my mother died of cancer too. I fell for the red herring about Margot’s teacher that they have in the opening conversation between Margot and her father
