The Crown: Tywysog Cymru (2019)
An outstanding performance from Josh O'Connor and Olivia Colman
This episode was my favourite so far, and it was fascinating to see a sympathetic and intriguing depiction of the young prince of Wales. Olivia Colman's callous depiction of the weariness and disillusion of the Queen as she really falls effortlessly into her role is brilliant.
Once Upon a Time in... Hollywood (2019)
Further proof that Tarantino does genre like no one else
Vivid, relaxed, nostalgic and indulgent, Tarantino's 9th film is, by its own small stroke of brilliance, a near complete divergence from his previous works. As a slow burner, this film notably values character above plot, and has a loose structure that seems to lack in the urgency that drives works such as Inglorious Basterds or Django Unchained. Nonetheless, in true Tarantino fashion, it delivers an acting masterclass, and serves as proof that Tarantino does genre pieces, and shows versatility in the face of expectation, like no one else.
This film isn't for everyone. But don't let that stop you for enjoying you what it is - another brilliant film.
