Main Street

The Resistance Banker 2018, is a dutch film about the financing of the dutch resistance by a couple of bankers during the ww2 nazi occupation. It's a great story and historical document.
There is an english dubbed version  on netflix,  as I have little tolerance for dubbed films, I just downloaded the dutch language version and added  the subs.

A Quiet Place - very good. Not great for the stress levels though. 8/10

Watched a couple Netflix ones. Christmas Chronicles was excellent. Bird Box was decent but could have being twenty minutes shorter.

It was an excellent biopic.

The only way, in my opinion, that anybody could fail to be impressed by it is if they thought it was a movie about space and space exploration

Bird Box on Netflix is a good show. Not quite a horror, as I was expecting but definitely a good concept.

Daft enough. Particularly how there wasn't a mention as to how everyone survived the 5 years between outbreak and the river journey!

Not too many novels get told on their entirety when they hit the big screen

Yes daft is the best word for it and too similar to The Happening (2008). For me, the malevolent presence / illness / psychosis wasn't explained anywhere near enough.

It wasn't about that though . . . I quite enjoyed it I know it wasn't too deep really and was just a whole lot of suspense without any real reasoning but it was entertaining enough and not the worst way to pass an evening. It'll hardly be getting any Oscars I wouldn't think.
