This particular Lost Weekend, I think I was having some fatigue going on the whole weekend, so I was inconsistent with if I even scored or took notes on movies, plus most of them were “5 out of 10s” for me, so I left them off of the list of movies. There were plenty of other movies at the film festival that I didn’t attend, but this is the list of ones that I saw. All of the links below are to IMDb.

  • Intermission - French short, amazing. Characters too young to be men, too old to be children, one finds something deeper in older films.
  • An Eternity of You and Me
  • The Civil Dead
  • Resurrection - Can’t dislike anything Rebecca Hall is in.
  • Retrograde
  • Beyond the Infinite Two Minutes
  • The Good Boss - Javier Bardem’s performance really brought this movie to life. That title of the movie sets the stage, but develops into a fiasco.
  • I Love My Dad - Some really uncomfortable comedy. Surprisingly appropriate ending to the movie. Lil Rel Howery’s character should have just a little bit more to do with the story, he was underused.
  • Lost Illusions - French historic movie that was incredibly long, but well written and keeps the story moving. Costume team should all get raises.
  • Cat Daddies - Documentary about men with cats.
  • Scarborough - The kitchen scene in this movie was amazing, but most of this movie didn’t work for me and it’s social messages were heavy handed for me, maybe I just wasn’t in the target audience. Tragedy in the middle of the movie felt like it came out of nowhere. LGBT sub plot at the very end of the movie felt very tacked on.
  • RRR - probably an audience favorite for Lost Weekend. 3 hours long and the movie has very little fat for those three hours.
  • Official Competition
  • Something in the Dirt - Ever since I’ve seen The Endless, I have really high expectations for the film makers of this, and this one? Just didn’t hit for me at all. Seemed like other liked it, so might be for you.
  • Neptune Frost - Personal Lost Weekend favorite for me. This is why I go to indie / foreign movie screenings. It was strange, something that I’d never expect to come out of Hollywood. Its social messages, I understood, and its poetry was angry and mystical.
  • Full Time
  • How to make Shepard pie (short)
  • Local director, director said that she decided to leave a piece of the movie up to the audience, and spoke how it was a gamble, unsure if it was the right choice. Husband felt like a caricature. Protagonist seemed like she had something going on before the events of the story that was left vague.
  • Girls Film
  • My Donkey, My Lover, and I
  • My Old School
