What was the best film you watched this week? (23/10/2017 - 29/10/2017)

The way this works is that you post a review of the best film you saw last week. It doesn't have to be a new release, just any film you have seen over the last seven days that you feel is worth talking about. Here are some rules.1. Check to see if your favourite film of last week has been posted already.2. Please post your favourite film of last week.3. NO TV SHOWS!4. ALWAYS use spoiler tags. Report any comments that spoil recent / little-known films (e.g. Kingsman: The Golden Circle, Blade Runner 2049) without using the spoiler tag.5. Comments that only contain the title of the film will be removed!Here are some great comments from last week's thread:The Florida Project - I've always been a sucker for Linklater-esque films that, instead of striving to fulfill a three-act structure or force a dramatic conflict down your throats, attempt to tell a story simply (which is not to say the task of doing so is simple, but the plot is) by trying to capture a slice of life and portray it in a realistic/humanistic manner. The Florida Project does this spectacularly - it portrays a population of out society we fail to talk about in our social discourse, puts them on display in a way that neither glamorizes nor patronizes their experience, and tells a heartfelt story. It's strength is especially in the decision to portray this world through the eyes of kids, all of which hand in great performances. Willem Dafoe does a great job of playing authoritative/caring/someone who you pity immensely at times. Sean Baker's attention to both color and shot composition is awesome, and I look forward to seeing his future/other work. Highly reccommend!The Silence of the Lambs - I might be out on a limb here, but I think this movie is pretty good guys. Underrated gem. In all seriousness this is one of those films with so much praise and love that when you revisit it part of you thinks maybe this time will be the time it breaks for me but my respect for this movie only grows. I was lucky to finally see it on the big screen this watch and I noticed so many little details I never had before. My read this time was that the film is all about the way all communication is a negotiation for power, and the virtuosity of the Hannibal and Clarice dialogue is such that it becomes a chess game with intricate moves jockeying for control. There's a great minor scene I never much paid attention to where the Senator is pleading over the TV to let her daughter go and what do the FBI trainees do? They analyze her speech like it's a calculated move, noting how she's trying to humanize her daughter by saying her name over and over. These people are so obsessed with the psychology of human behavior they no longer engage with it on an empathetic level. Also how great is it that the most famous scenes are shot-reverse-shot, generally the most bland part of any film. Demme does this wonderful little trick during the lambs conversation where he keeps the same close-up on Clarice put every cut back to Lecter the camera is just a little bit closer to his eyes. Honestly that's just my take this time, there's still a lot of great reads you can take on the film, especially in terms of being a woman in a man's world (how fucking great is that shot of Clarice in the funeral home with all the police officers surrounding her). It's film that just keeps rewarding every time I see it. It's totally deserving of its masterpiece status.An American Werewolf in London (1981). Movie is genius. The transformation scene is just so powerful, the music mixed with his cries of pain really hit you cause you like him so much. That guy's acting in that scene is incredible. Along with the special effects, his reaction during the first few seconds is probably the most intense tone switch of any movie I can think of. The way that whole day he's looking in the mirror doing silly hissing faces and Teen Wolf style werewolf poses in the mirror is such a great contrast to "what the fuck I'm burning". The transformation really just comes out of nowhere, like you knew it was coming but at the moment it actually happens, you're caught off guard just like him. And that reveal of what the werewolf really looks like at the bottom of the escalator in the subway is what John Landis feels is the best shot of his career, it's so natural looking. Natural as in if you were walking by and looked down and saw that. I keep talking about it but it really is just that good. It'll have you feeling every emotion stronglyFor further expansion of the rules, please read this link.Have fun and play nice! via /r/movies http://ift.tt/2yd9fXA
