Yeh, Rea, Von Sydow, Don Sutherland, it is a great cast. One of those unexpected gems you find at times.

Grumpy old man alert:
All films are too long these days. Occasionally there'll be an exception, a film is so good it flies by, but in the vast majority of cases anything over 100 minutes could be 15-30 minutes shorter. Back in the day, virtually all films were 90-100 minutes except the occasional epic blockbuster, and everyone would go 'wow the Godfather is 2 hours!!!'.
Its OK for home viewing, I like watching a long film over 2 nights, but its literally a pain in the arse sitting down for 2.5-3 hours.
But, Hollywood market researches the *smile* out of everything, so it must be what most people want.

It’s a great point. Compare Oppenheimer with a mini series like HBO’s Chernobyl & I’ll take Chernobyl every time.
3 hours long?? I was definitely struggling with it.
Even when I see a film I like I often think they could have lopped off 15-20 minutes.
2 hours used to be rare, now its normal.
Haven't seen Oppy, and will do when I can at home. Chernobyl is up there with the best things I've ever seen, film, TV, miniseries, whatever. Just the best.
My friends 12 yo daughter asked me if I was going to see Barbie. 'nuh' I said. But its for people who love Barbie and hate Barbie. She said, quoting the marketting. But I don't care either way, I said. Oh, she said, what if it had Dusty in it? She said.
Agree on Chernobyl; absolutely brilliant. Interesting viewing for those of us who grew up in 70s and 80s and remember the Cold War. I remember the Chernobyl disaster quite vividly.
Just watched Still.
Sad and uplifting at the same time.
Plus you get to see him hit Biff again.
Was very well done IMO.

Still: A Michael J. Fox Movie
The film, which will incorporate documentary, archival and scripted elements, will recount Fox's extraordinary story in his own words -- the improbable tale of an undersized kid from a Canadian army base who rose to the heights of stardom in 1980s Hollywood. The account of Fox's public life...
You and me both Waiting. The editing and score gave the movie a rhythm that sucked me in for its entire length.
I still haven't seen it so you could be right.
I'll go and watch it next week, make up my mind and only then come back here and complain about it
Took the better half to see Barbie.
All I can say is Margot Robbie looked great & so did the film..
At least until I fell asleep.

“Tar“ with our Cate. What a giant *smile* of a movie. The most boring pretentious load of pointless crap I’ve seen since…I can’t remember. It’s not until the 2 hr mark of a 2hr 40 minute movie does the allegation against her come. In the meantime we’ve been subjected to endless pointless scenes, a lot of classical music garb. Just avoid it.
Ok.
I went and saw a movie on Monday. Today it is Friday ( of course ) on the recommendation of my cousin.
He told me. Only see it if you can stomach the theme of the movie, images, content matter etc.
The reason why I said that today it is Friday, is because, 5 days later I’m still deeply affected by it.
Now I seen Jim Caviezel is two previous movies which had an affect on me , especially Passion of the Christ.
Jim stars in this movie and portrays the character which the movie is based on ( true story ).
The movie is called Sound Of Freedom.

the guy that that movie is based on is full of *smile*. There are countless websites debunking his claims and stories.
Jb why you had to tell me this?
I’ve seen a trailer before the movie was released with him & Jim Caviezel .
Jim Caviezel seems to be a genuine, thoughtful, seemingly spiritual person.
Tim I wasn’t sure of but it saddens me you write that as to the affect the movie has had on me this past week.
