It's that time of year again! We're past the halfway point of 2018, and there have been a ton of fantastic films that have flown under the radar once more. Today, we wanted to share with you our list of
10 Movies from 2018 You May Have Missed, part I!
"American Animals" - Full of fantastic performances, interesting filmmaking choices, and a "so crazy, it's true" story, "American Animals" is a must-see for lovers of heist films... just don't go in expecting the same old narrative.
"Beast" - "Beast" is a wonderfully suspenseful thriller full of beautiful camerawork and cinematography, excellent acting, and a tense, compelling story. Check this indie out ASAP!
"Cargo" - This is a slow-burning horror film that proves zombies are never the scariest thing about a zombie apocalypse. Martin Freeman gives a great lead performance in this exploration of humanity that doesn't shy away from fights with the undead. This is streaming right now on Netflix.
"The Death of Stalin" - Steeped in irony and dark comedy, this movie is a bit chaotic in its madness, but we laughed a lot while watching it.
"I Kill Giants" - Infused with believable drama, creative fantasy, and heavy emotion, we found ourselves extremely moved by "I Kill Giants." Using fantastical giants as a metaphor for deep-seeded trauma, we sympathized with the main character and know all too well how anger, fear, sadness, and depression twist and contort their way into your heart, mind, and soul at the most inopportune times. This didn't get a theatrical release so check it out on video on demand!
"RBG" - 2018 has been an amazing year for documentaries. "RBG" is comprehensive, well-made, inspiring, and moving. It highlights a lifetime of achievements by Ruth Bader Ginsburg that shows we can find common ground with one another even though our differences may be vast.
"Tully" - If Charlize Theron doesn't get recognized for her performance in "Tully," it will be a tremendous injustice. This is a film that will stick with you long after you're done watching it. It's funny, witty, sad, brutally honest, and will make you think and feel things you didn't know you thought and felt.
"Upgrade" - Pleasantly surprising and satisfying, "Upgrade" might have a low budget, but it's impressive, fun, and really exciting. The acting is great and the special effects are stellar. Though the plot is a bit predictable, we still highly recommend this film.
"Won't You Be My Neighbor?" - This documentary about Fred Rogers is essential viewing, just make sure you bring copious amounts of tissues. It is so well put together, so heartwarming, so full of love. If you are looking for a movie to inspire hope in what seems like a hopeless time, this is it.
"You Were Never Really Here" - It may have some thematic aspects that are hard to watch, but "You Were Never Really Here" is a remarkable, haunting, claustrophobic film. Director Lynne Ramsay's immersive and compelling direction and Joaquin Phoenix's transfixing performance makes this a must-see.
