Finding 2017 incredibly drab for film so far... only seen about 15 films, and can't even say I enjoyed half. Only real standouts for me at this point are Baby Driver, Okja, Get Out and A Ghost Story. Hoping the remainder of the year turns out for the best, def a few things on my plate I'm looking forward to. Haven't seen Dunkirk or The Beguiled yet though, so there's those.
Anyone have any under the radar film recs from this year?

Yeah, yeah, Raw's dope. It was pretty high on my year end list for 2016 (same with Applerill's), fantastic horror film. That being said, def saw it last year... don't even think I've seen any output from France this year

I don't usually get that into movies until the last 3 months of the year. That's when 90% of the best stuff seems to come out.
I don't know about anyone else, but I am psyched about Blade Runner 2049 -- and I am not one to get psyched (like, at all) about big budget releases.
Dozens of reviews are in (see Rottentomatoes.com), and while I've resisted the temptation to read them so far (don't want to know much about the plot going in), the results are clear in that the film has (virtually) universally high acclaim -- usually a very good sign.
I'm not expecting the film to be as subtle as the original Blade Runner (which is much more an "art film" than a "blockbuster"), but I am hoping the new one is at least a great movie-going experience, and it seems increasingly likely that will be the case.

I'm honestly surprised by the initial reviews because, even though I'm also looking forward to it and it has great talent involved, I expected it to flop. That's usually the case with these kinds of films, right? _________________

Hey, anyone here see Marjorie Prime? I missed the release altogether, seen pretty good reviews, and the director (Michael Almereyda) is going to be directing the adaptation of my favorite ever novel, White Noise. I know Almereyda for a dry version of Hamlet and Twister but his recent stuff has good reviews, anyone care to comment on if he's actually gotten good? _________________
Dope film noir directed by Fritz Lang whom with his German expression films from tbe early thirties is somewhat responsible for the genres existence. Set in the late forties and centering on the married Edward G Robinson's characters obsession on the much younger Constance Bennets "Lazy Legs". The only sore point is the believability of her character being head over heels for the odious and far from dashing Johnny. Expertly plotted character study, everyone ends up miserable or dead but what good film noir doesn't?
