Let Them All Talk HD1080p 17MB
Comedic drama that tells the story of a celebrated author (Meryl Streep) who takes a journey with some old friends (Candice Bergen, Dianne Wiest) to have some fun and heal old wounds. Her nephew (Lucas Hedges) comes along to wrangle the ladies and finds himself involved with a young literary agent (Gemma Chan). Directed by Steven Soderbergh (Ocean's Eleven, Magic Mike, Logan Lucky).
Apparently, all the dialogue was improvised. Will start streaming on HBO MAX December 10th.
One Night in Miami HD720p 26MB
A first trailer for this drama based on a play inspired by true events that imagines a night in February 1964, when real-life friends Cassius Clay (Eli Goree), Jim Brown (Aldis Hodge), Sam Cooke (Leslie Odom Jr.), and Malcolm X (Kingsley Ben-Adir) gather to celebrate Clay’s win over Sonny Liston, which made him the heavyweight champion of the world. Triumphant and playful, Clay is looking to party, but both he and football star Brown know that’s only a temporary escape from the civil rights abuses that limit the lives of even celebrated Black Americans. Feature film directing debut of Regina King.
Was very well received at festivals. After a brief theatrical run, will start streaming on Amazon Prime January 15th.
Chaos Walking HD720p 34MB
Dystopian sci-fi thriller set in the not too distant future, in which Todd Hewitt (Tom Holland) discovers Viola (Daisy Ridley), a mysterious girl who crash lands on his planet, where all the women have disappeared and the men are afflicted by "the Noise" - a force that puts all their thoughts on display. In this dangerous landscape, Viola's life is threatened - and as Todd vows to protect her, he will have to discover his own inner power and unlock the planet's dark secrets. Mads Mikkelsen, Nick Jonas, Demián Bichir, Cynthia Erivo and David Oyelowo are also part of the cast. Directed by Doug Liman (Jumper, Mr. & Mrs. Smith, Edge of Tomorrow).
To calibrate expectations, originally filmed in 2017, delayed for re-shoots, now set for a January release during a pandemic.
Pieces of a Woman HD1080p 40MB
Intense drama about Martha and Sean Carson, a Boston couple (Vanessa Kirby, Shia LaBeouf) on the verge of parenthood whose lives change irrevocably during a home birth at the hands of a flustered midwife (Molly Parker), who faces charges of criminal negligence. Thus begins a year-long odyssey for Martha, who must navigate her grief while working through fractious relationships with her husband and her domineering mother (Ellen Burstyn), along with the publicly vilified midwife whom she must face in court.
Kirby won the Best Actress Award for her performance this year in Venice. After a brief theatrical run, will start streaming on Netflix January 7th. Trailer version without German inserts and subtitles.
Collective - Colectiv HD720p 75MB
Documentary from Romania that chronicles events from 2015, starting with a fire at the Bucharest nightclub Colectiv. The tragedy killed 27 people on site and injured over 100 more. Romania's Health Minister promised the burn victims would get the highest-quality treatment, but, in subsequent months, dozens more perished. What was going wrong inside the hospitals? A newspaper investigative team digs into this with old-fashioned gusto, conducting stakeouts, analyzing data, and working sources.
There are terrible events happening worldwide, but this plays like a thriller. Reviews are uniformly excellent, so I think this is well worth the time. Despite being a documentary, it's Romania's official Oscar submission. Now available on streaming services.
