FORD V FERRARI: I was nice. Commercial. Got hooked on the first 20 minutes, then unnecessary drama. 🙄 But it got my attention again on the last 30 minutes, though I felt too theatrical. 6.5⭐
THE IRISHMAN: Good but just not my type. It didn't have something surprising that made me engrossed or engaged. Robert de Niro should win though. 7.0⭐
JOJO RABBIT: I'm sure it is a good film. But I stopped watching when they killed the rabbit. Awful & unnecessary. 👎
JOKER: Too much drama. I prefer De Niro to win for The Irishman but I wouldn't mind Joaquin Phoenix winning for his efforts. 6.5⭐
LITTLE WOMEN: Nothing surprising. I got confused with the timeline. For me, it would have made a greater impact if told chronologically. Though the last part was intricate. Soarsie Ronan, though I'm not a fan, is a natural. She'll get an Oscar one day if not for this one. 8.0⭐
MARRIAGE STORY: White people problems. But I hope Adam Driver gets an Oscar. If not for this then someday. But I hope he gets this. 7.5⭐
1917: The directing style is legit! I don't like the musical score though. But if this wins over Parasite (directing categoy), I would be OK. I'm still rooting for Parasite for the film category. 9.0⭐
The contenders for the acting category are very strong. Too bad George MacKay didn't make it.
ONCE UPON A TIME...IN HOLLYWOOD: Too long. There are scenes that are unnecessary. Like Inglorious Basterds, it's satisfying to see different outcome of awful real events. 7.5⭐
PARASITE: My choice! I hope this wins! The cast should have been nominated for acting, too. 9.5⭐
