The Zookeeper's Wife (2017)
A story worth telling
Firstly, I'm quite shocked by the negative reviews. This film stands up next to classics, in particular Schindler's List, to depict the horror of the Jewish suffering and violation in Eastern Europe in WW2. It is not so graphic but shows the lengths non-Jewish people went to, to save their fellow human beings. Intensely poignant and heartbreaking at times. Yes it's not all about zoo animals but that's not really the point. A tale worth telling, and very well told.
Colossal (2016)
Fantastic allegory
For the first half of this film I was a bit puzzled/sceptical. The plot is so surreal. But as you get into it you realise how much it is about mental health and emotional abuse, you get past the fantastical and unreal plot and enjoy it for what it is.., whatever that may be! Brilliant!
