Rating: 8/10
Review: Wow! I really liked this one. It's based on the true story of Desmond Doss, a combat medic in World War II who was a conscientious objector. Some really good acting and some marvelous and brutal combat scenes make this a really good film!

Rating: 7/10
Review: When I first saw the trailer for this at the cinema the other week, it didn't really feel like anything I was going to hurry to watch. I'm glad that I did watch it though, because this was a really smart and intelligent sci-fi film that felt quite unique. Wasn't superimpressed by the acting, but I really dug the film.

Review: This is an adaptation of Robyn Davidson's memoir of the same name, chronicling the author's nine-month journey on camels across the Australian desert. It was not bad, but somehow the story felt a bit too easy. I was kind of expecting that Robyn would come across way more hurdles than we get to see in the film. This made it a bit too monotonous for me.

Review: I'm not a huge fan of musicals, but I felt that I had to watch this one after hearing so much praise about it. And I'm not disappointed. It's beautifully made and the acting is good. The story is not the strongest perhaps, but that's seldom the case when it comes to musicals if you ask me. Worth watching either way.

Review: I do love Ken Loach. Not all of his films are great, but all of them are at least worth watching. And I, Daniel Blake is Loach in good form and Dave Johns is great in the lead role.
