Q: What is the best new cinema/VOD release you’ve seen that came out between the start of April and the end of August?

(I’d do this as a poll but would probably be missing a load of stuff)

3

Wait, A Quiet Place 2 has been pushed back again until April??? I thought it was out this week. Irked.

4

Lynn and Lucy, followed by St Frances.

Lynn and Lucy is probably the only new release I’ve seen since mid-March.

Like most people I’ve seen loads of films on Netflix, Amazon etc. but Lynn and Lucy is the only new one. Great film.

After a quick look through my list I think The Vast of Night was my favourite

Did like The Old Guard and Eurovision Song Contest: The Story of Fire Saga too

Sea Fever is probably the best new release I’ve seen over the lockdown period. She Dies Tomorrow is the worst

Going to go to the cinema for the first time since March on Friday to see Make Up

Oh yeah, forgot about Sea Fever and The Vast Of Night. Both great.

Watched Da 5 Bloods last night and found it incredibly inconsistent. It started off interesting but got convuluted as the plot went on.

Yeah @anon3515918 in case you don’t know (they don’t really publicise it weirdly) their full library is open to stream atm rather than just the 30 films at a time. Loads of good stuff in there
