Bina007 reviews five films out in the UK right now.  The first is the superb winner of the Best Foreign Language Oscar, A FANTASTIC WOMAN; at 6m10s in, the equally compelling documentary about Hollywood star and inventor of the concept behind wifi! BOMBSHELL: THE HEDY LAMARR STORY; at 13m30s, the outstanding Aussie western SWEET COUNTRY; at 20m, the problematic doc about the man who inspired Rambo II, ERASE AND FORGET; and finally, at 24m25s, the equally problematic but far more accomplished ultra-violent revenge thriller YOU WERE NEVER REALLY HERE starring Joaquin Phoenix.
