Last month, I watched mini movies - shorts, features and student films - in the Women’s Voices Now Film Festival. Many were good, some were just okay, But all spoke to women’s issues and had relevant points. Other than that, I’ve mostly watched streamers.
I do have three movies to share:
Secret Mall Apartment on Netflix is a documentary about a group of friends who found a space in the Providence Place Mall in Rhode Island. They came up with the idea of building an apartment and living in it without being detected. They lasted four years before someone found the space and then they were barred from it. It was interesting.
Emma Thompson and Daryl McCormack star in Good Luck To You, Leo Grand. A widowed, retired school teacher, who has only had one sex partner in her life, would like a little adventure, with six included. Ready with her list of things she’d like to accomplish, she hires a sex worker and gets down to business. It was pretty good.
And - finally, I watched People We Meet on Vacation - see last Book Chat. I did not like this adaptation. That’s all I’m going to say about that.
Streamers:
First, I have to comment about The Split, starring Nicola Walker of Last Tango in Halifax, (another great watch) fame. This series is streaming on Prime. It’s about an attorney (Walker) who splits from the family firm and joins a competing one. It is so good. I highly recommend it.
The Pitt Season 2 - Apple - very good
The Testaments - Hulu - very good
Alice and Steve - Hulu - meh
Disco, Soundtrack of a Revolution (three parts) - PBS - enlightening
Sweet Magnolias Season 5 - Netflix - three seasons too many
Next time.
MK out.
