The Vast of Night (2019)


 

One night in New Mexico, in the late 1950s, a switchboard operator and radio DJ discover a strange audio frequency which could change the future forever. 

Superb sci-fi drama sets its story in a small 50s American town and gives it a David Lynch-like feeling of much more dimensions at play below the surface with intelligent direction, tense, dark and imaginative cinematography, creepy atmosphere and a perplexing ending.

Ariadna Majewska


 

I Am Mother (2019)


 

In the wake of humanity's extinction, a teenage girl is raised by a robot designed to repopulate the earth. But their unique bond is threatened when an inexplicable stranger arrives with alarming news.

Above-average, highly imaginative sci-fi post-apocalyptic drama slyly takes its time to reveal is mystery; suspenseful, tense, well directed with excellent special effects and good performances.


 

Kylie Minogue

Ma Rainey's Black Bottom (2020)


 

Chicago, 1927. A recording session. Tensions rise between Ma Rainey, her ambitious horn player and the white management determined to control the uncontrollable "Mother of the Blues". Based on Pulitzer Prize winner August Wilson's play. 

Obviously stage-bound, this ace movie overcomes the boundaries of the play with stellar performances by Davis and Boseman , excellent period detail, good direction and genuine sense for the music.
