I too thought Banshees was awful - I was expecting another Waking Ned Devine type masterpiece but it was truly dreadful - when you have to rely on incest and suicide to lighten the plot you should know you've made a shite movie.
It was lovely that your granddaughter took you to a movie she had already seen, I bet she felt really grown up not spilling the beans on the plot.
I watched most of the movies this year - haven't watched Maestro yet. I can't believe I watched both Zone of Interest and Anatomy of a Fall without recognizing they had the same female lead lol
One movie I watched after the awards was Nyad - Annette Benning did a marvelous job of matching her facial expressions and voice with the real person whose clips were shown throughout the movie. She also did some amazing swimming in rough water. After seeing this I would have picked her for the female lead award.
One movie I like more and more as I think about it is Past Lives - not trying too hard to tell a big story or be politically correct - just a gentle relationship story about ordinary people.
