Always look forward to these monthly videos from you! You describe what you’ve watched without giving too much away and keep the suspense up at the same time. Appreciate you 🫡 Btw, Children of Men has been one of my favorites for years now. Glad you got around to watching it. Brilliant film.

Nocturnal animals might be one of the most underrated movies ever

The Hunt is such a great movie, but I always find it hard to recommend because it’s so difficult to express why that subject matter ends up being so compelling.

I think what makes it so compelling and hard to watch is that in many ways, the stakes of an accusation like that are on the level of death, which is typically the highest stake in film. Career, friends, respect, and freedom all gone instantly is as scary as death, but even more relateable because this really could happen to anyone.

I watched Children of Men for the first time in June too! So sad and so stressful 😭 Another Round is a great film, so glad you enjoyed it!

Lots of great stuff this month! Children of Men! Anything with Mads! The monolith that is Hereditary! The Queen’s Gambit blew me away. When it was over, I immediately tried to look up the true story behind it, only to find out that there wasn’t one! Totally had me fooled thinking it was a biopic.

So happy it’s that time of the month!! Love your recommendations. Love your taste in movies. Love how vague but intriguing your reviews are!! Huge fan from another continent! 💗

The Hunt always reminds me of that short animation film "There's a Man in the Woods", which is one of the most anxiety inducing, depressing and lowkey disturbing pieces of animation I've ever seen. I'm sure you've seen it too but in the remote chance you haven't PLEASE rush and watch it! It's easily available on KZread

Thanks for the wrap up, Emma! Hereditary is one of my favorite films and I watch it a couple of times a year. Like you say, it's very rewatchable. I finally saw Pearl this month, and I absolutely loved it. Looking forward to Maxxxine.

Some of these have been on my watch lost for quite some time. Your recommendations always bump them up a notch 🤓

Love ur monthly recaps.. we definitely have the same taste in movies. I often tell ppl the only thing more boring than watching grass grow is watching a movie where everything works out in the end, everyone goes home happy, and the world is left in a perfect state. Life is messy, love is messy, family is messy, everything is messy. If u want a fairy tale go watch a Disney movie lol Beauty is in truth and in the embracing of life as is. I’m reminded of a quote in Alfonso Cuarons “Y Tu Mama Tambien” (fully recommend if u haven’t seen it)…. Life is like the surf, so give yourself away like the sea. We can’t control the ocean, the surf, all we can do is acknowledge its immense power and enjoy the moments we are gifted, bumps and all. Thank you for ur videos, they certainly add one of those waves in the surf of life, good entertainment, honest opinions, and a person who is passionate about something in this life, and u can’t help but find it a tiny bit infectious at times!

Incendies and Nocturnal Animals are top of my watch list now when I next have movie time based on this video Emma. I have seen many of what you have been watching 👍

Wow you watched so many of my favourite films for the first time this month. Children of Men must be my all time favourite film. So great. I watch it pretty much every year. The Piano Teacher!

Cool, I watched Ghostwatch this month as well, hadn't heard of it. I saw it mentioned with regards Late Night With the Devil. Made me miss Parky. A good Mads Mikkelsen film to try is Adam's Apples. Not a horror, it's difficult to describe for me really, the tone, it's more of a comedy. I enjoyed it quite a bit. The Danes make such good films and watching that film really highlighted that gap in my knowledge, which still exists to be honest, but I have seen quite a few more since.

Happy 4th of July Emma 🇺🇸❤️🤍💙🛼🛼👼🏻👼🏾🧸🎠🌟🤠🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🌈

Great round up! I wanted to rewatch Nocturnal Animals so badly that I just bought it when I couldn't find it streaming hahaha!!

Just watched Incendies , very emotional and well made . Yet another of your great recommendations that I never heard of before and ended up really liking .

Hey, the hunt is my favorite movie of all time. I'm glad to see some love for it.

Lots of great watches this month Em! I can't remember if I commented on your video, but I still plan to check out I Saw the TV Glow. I know you said it's a slow burn, but it sounds super interesting.

Thanks for sharing your list of films you saw this month, Emma. "After Hours", I haven't seen that film since it first came out and yet I can still remember it well. Need to hide, the papier mâché artist has an idea. 😉

So if Mads is playing a teacher, watch the hell out. Also, is "Night Shyamalan" the whole last name? Combined?

Incendies is such a great film and also contains the most disturbing gasp I've ever heard in a movie. The context is disturbing but the gasp itself is on another level. Iykyk

The monthly wrap up is always so fun :) I think I might watch After Hours this week.

Have you watched the British TV show Inside No. 9? If you haven't, it is a fantastic anthology show. Each season has six episodes and they are 30 minutes long. The each episode range from horror, thriller, drama, comedy, found footage, that's just a small selection of genres mentioned. It stars Steve Pemberton & Reece Sheersmith who write & star in each episode, creators of Psychoville & co-creators of The League of Gentlemen.

The Piano Teacher story I had you may find funny, many years ago, one summer me and my friends went out to the videoclub to rent The Pianist for a night of pizza and movie, a friend and me were responsible to get the movie, but The Pianist was all rented out, so... we saw The Piano Teacher close by obviously and thought, huh why not. Well, you can imagine the pizza movie night we had. We were banned from choosing movies again. ( I still find it an interesting weird character study lol)

Hi Emma - The soundtrack to Mysterious Skin is really good as is the cinematography. Sadly , the movie is a bit disappointing ultimately but still worth a watch.

0:25 After Hours! Linda Fiorentino is in this film. She is an amazing actress that disappeared short after being in Men In Black...

I watched Ghostwatch the night it originally aired. Absolutely loved it. I think it has only been shown on tv once since and that was recently.

If you like bad girls club you should watch baddies… it’s a new spin off by Natalia nunn as a director. It’s insane

I have seen it! I didn’t like it tbh I hate her haha

In Hereditary, at the end in the tree house, it’s reminiscent of the nativity scene but the hell version in a sense. Also, the muffled noises in the opening credits is likely from the followers of Paimon chanting. These are some things I noticed when I rewatched it. That mysterious breath outside may also be from his vigilante followers.

I'm surprised you didn't mention Thom Yorke from Radiohead (since you love that band) when you initially talked about "Incendies". That scene when the music started playing, is one of the most memorable scenes in the movie. If you don't love Hereditary, we can't be friends lol I'm looking forward to Ari Aster's next noir-western-dark comedy film, "Eddington".

Omg yeeeey🙌🏾❤️❤️❤️

Man Another Round is such a hard hitting movie. I cried a lot at the end, but it was more out of catharsis than anything. That last scene is so so good. Also please do a Longlegs Come With Me -- at this point I need to see it but I'm not normally a horror girlie and I am legitimately really freaked out by it 😅

I could comment on many of these, but it’s interesting you have two movies by danish director Thomas Vinterberg on here. Have you seen ”The Celebration” from 1998 by him? I think i was his breakthrough, done in ”Dogma”-style. About a big celebration of an elderly father, and things doesn’t turn up as expected ... People still talk about that one. Disturbing, but not horror.

Nocturnal animals is so anxiety inducing

Oh man, I wish I had liked The Watchers more than I did -- and I went in *hoping* for some fantasy horror. (SPOILERS) I didn't like how the creatures were used -- they basically just became generic vampires by the end even though ofc it's not a vampire film. And I didn't think the final twist really made any sense, given what we see about the characters beforehand. And I thought the acting was atrocious, particularly Daniel.

gotta be careful when talking about "reality" tv shows. They are not actually reality, none of them are. The reason for that is that there is a conflict of interest between entertainment and reality. As we all know, reality is actually quite boring a lot of the time. Unfortunately a tv show can't afford to have this occur, so almost nothing about a reality show is reality. They would not allow an entire episode to be non-entertaining, so they infuse drama, they force people to discuss things they otherwise wouldn't. So especially when a show is involving people with potential mental health issues, you should just be a little careful just straight up calling it a reality show. I know that's what it's considered, but it's just not accurate. TV producers aren't going to just stomach a stretch where they go multiple episodes with nothing particularly interesting happening. So in order to make money and bring attention they are going to lie and manipulate the show so that it IS entertaining no matter what. I know you don't mean anything malicious by calling it a reality show, I guess I'm just a little concerned that more and more of the population seems to genuinely think that it's just a house where they place cameras around and that's all of the manipulation that occurs. There are meetings, there are discussions about what to talk about and when. There are certainly times where the producers tell the participants what to do, how to do it and the only reason I know that is because of money. No one is going to be so into the art of a reality show that they are going to risk NOT garnering the audience's attention just to make a piece of art. Therefore, it's basically all fake or heavily heavily manipulated and some reality shows are just downright scripted. I'm sure this is a little more raw than something like the Bachelor, which is just completely a foregone conclusion and they just make every decision to get the most viewers, but it's still nowhere near actual reality.

Hey I’m not sure if you know this but I worked in tv for 10 years and I can tell you most people know how over produced reality tv is. I think the issue would be calling it a documentary, it’s not problematic to call it the genre title we all use. It’s literally the label it goes by, just to explain the format.
