Spoiler-Free Movie Review: "Bugonia" (2025)

Incredible. I'm not going to say anything else. See it. Go into it knowing nothing about it, if possible.

Spoiler-free #10SecondMovieReview : "Good Fortune" (2025) [1]

Entertaining implementation of a well-used premise that manages to find some new twists. Fantastic cast, good storytelling, very enjoyable. Pushes the message slightly too hard rather than allowing the audience to figure it out, but nowhere near as bad as, say, post-1990 James Cameron beating the audience over the head with a bat.

See it.

[1] This one's still 10 seconds if you read fast.

Spoiler-free movie review: "Thelma" (2024)

This is fantastic - a comedy for adults, with a real heart and some surprises. Great cast. See it.

#5SecondMovieReview : "Fido" (2006)

Comedy / horror with a bit of romance, which is difficult to pull off successfully, but it's a delight when it is - as it is here. It's also a subtle but biting satire. Fantastic cast, quirky characters, all aided by being a Canadian production.

Very worthwhile. See it.

#5SecondMovieReview : "The Ballad of Wallis Island" (2025)

Tiny but fantastic cast, one setting, touching, funny, and warm - see it. Note: you may have the urge to kill the character 'Charles' for the duration of the movie.

Jules (2023) - a #SciFi/#comedy starring Ben Kingsley, Harriet Sansom Harris, and Jane Curtin.

This is a cute and #quirky take on the classic #alien-contact story. Ben Kingsley is a retired gentleman in a small midwest town, and an unlikely target for first contact with an alien species. It's warm, it's funny, it has a bit of the air of Manhattan Murder Mystery (1993), and it doesn't go in the completely obvious directions that you expect it to.

It's another movie for #adults, with interesting characters, great performances, and very few #pixels.

Highly #recommended.

Aside: these mini #MovieReview toots seem to be appreciated. Given how difficult it is to find good movies for adults - things where story, people, relationships are the core, rather than Yet Another Horrible #Disney/#Marvel #CGI #Festival - and how little promotion #Hollywood gives such movies, I think I'll keep sharing these. And maybe start searching the #fediverse for others' takes on the same sorts of searches.
