Frantz

Frantz  well François Ozon is a director whose films I like even when they are not that good. This is among the good ones. I love its thematic approach and how the message is given in different strengths throughout the film. I love the actors and the visuals too. The story is very interesting and layered. I highly recommend this one. All in all this ended up being a good weekend. 

Paterson

Paterson  ok I only got this because I have a thing for Adam Driver. I find him very sexy on top of being a very good actor. He is excellent in this slice of life film with some big, some small things happening during a week of Paterson's life. I just loved it to bits. Not only the actors all were very good but I love the slightly surreal touches and the warmth emitting from everyone. The humble and optimistic look at life. Everything. The only Jim Jarmusch film I have seen was "Only Lovers Left Alive" and it was more visually good looking than interesting. This one however is already among my all time faves.

Coco turned out to be so good that tears flowed throughout sometimes due to joy sometimes sadness. I highly recommend.

A Rising Man

A Rising Man turned out to get better for me as it developed. I liked the setting, the lead character and the good natured message of it all. However I didn't like the mystery and how it concluded. Even so I think I'll get the second novel in the series.

Less

Less I was expecting to like but I truly loved it. Great novel with a delightful prose. I liked the story too and was extremely happy with the SPOILER !!!!!                                   happy ending.

American Assasin

American Assasin was not as bad as I thought it was going to be. But it was not any good either.

The Vow

The Vow is inspired by a true story which I didn't know the first time I watched it. In this rewatch I knew and find it even more entertaining (and yeah tears were shed this time too).
