MOONLIGHT
Recommended. I've heard it's got 140 awards already. It develops step by step, with subtlety you wouldn't expect from a film about rough neighborhood, tough guys and drug dealing. But it's more than that: the collapse of family values, dealing with school bullying, becoming oneself, love, friendship, what life is and what life is about. I had tears in my eyes a good few times. Trevante Rhodes and Andre Holland act remarkably well.
LAS, 4 RANO
Watchable. Krzysztof Majchrzak's life's role. But while his character is both intriguing and well acted, the film is mediocre. Part of it is annoyingly sexist: a relatively young woman becomes fond of an old, fat homeless guy and even wants to shag. In reality it would be the other way round: he would be harassing her. The movie's also tedious at times and I just felt it was going nowhere. The brilliant beginning isn't matched by an equal ending. In fact, there's no ending.
