The Brown Note Movie Review

No doubt just moaning about who won as they are always terrible.

I've gone on at length praising Aussie actor-auteur Joel Edgerton and he does pretty much everything here, in this twisted psych-drama, including star, write and direct.

Allegedly shot on an iPhone, even the cinematography is superb in this magnificent, zero budget, transgender vignette. Director Sean Baker will obviously go on to greatness.

You never know what's next director Danny Boyle. Here a pure biopic based around set moments. Terrific acting from Fassbender in the lead and the heavyweight writing of Aaron Sorkin but as always, Boyles choices can be perplexing. I think I was a little kind here.

The "kidnapped child kept in a basement" horror motif that so enthralls and upsets us, gets arguably its purest treatment and an acting Oscar for a Brie Larson who seems to have been vacuumed up into franchise land since. Best in its most disquieting moments.

Only just shy of being completely worthy of its exalted subject and brilliant director.

A wonderful biopic of not just the Beach Boy Brian Wilson but the whole Pet Sounds era too.

A great example of how what was special about a person can be ignored by documentary makers in favour of their graphic death. Did not enjoy.

I will have to re-watch this as I cannot work out how this isn't the Christian Bale starring Moses cinematic disaster.

I'm a big fan of Ryan Reynolds but this wildly overrated adult comic book adaption isn't much better than the Green Hornet.
