Champions

On Netflix. Woody Harrelson as a disgraced NBA coach sentenced to community service coaching adults with intellectual difficulties (eg Down syndrome). Team is played by actual disabled people.

Very heartwarming, I enjoyed it.

I love Woody Harrelson but I feared it might be a bit exploitative, glad to hear it's not the case

My first thing was to google the cast. They seemed happy and reading the interviews everyone seemed to get on well. The reviews did say it felt a bit patronising in places but I’m not sure I agree. Half of the Farrell brothers directed it and they’ve got a pretty good record with disability representation in films IMO.

The Presence.

One of those films you`ll either love or hate.

Not a horror film, but more of a slow burning supernatural film.

The camera work takes a bit of getting used, to as it`s filmed as though you`re looking through the eyes of " the presence ".

A seemingly well off and happy family, move into a lovely house in a desirable neighbourhood with their two teenage kids and their daughter starts to sense that something is watching over her in her room.

The plot is very slow to develop, as bit by bit secrets are revealed and things start to unravel, with an ending that you really don`t see coming.

As with all Steven Soderburgh films, it`s a bit different and may not be to every ones taste, but I really enjoyed it.

Going to see it this week.
Looking forward to it, but I've already seen complaints that the trailer was really deceptive as it was being described as "the scariest film of the year" whereas it's more of a family drama
