FLOW is a magnificent meditative odyssey on the will to live. Nature is cruel, yet can be transcendent in its natural beauty, birthing instincts that redefines our relationship to a beautiful and unforgiving world. One of the most beautiful and heartbreaking films of the year. Completely enraptured.

Review: β€˜Hard Truths’ is a Maddeningly Brilliant Tragic Comedy In one of Mike Leigh’s best films, Happy-Go-Lucky (2008), Eddie Marsan has an emotional breakdown of anger and resentment towards one of the most annoying, happiest characters you’ll see in a film.…

Hopefully Mike Leigh’s HARD TRUTHS is expanding to a theater near you. It’s one of his best films in a while, featuring a hilarious and heartbreaking performance from Marianne Jean-Baptiste. Hopefully she will be recognized with an Oscar nomination. therollingtape.com/review-hard-...

Hello new follower! My name is Amritpal Rai (teachers have been calling me β€œPaul” since elementary school, so that nickname has stuck). I love movies to an unbearable degree. So much that I get the freedom to write and talk about them at The Rolling Tape. therollingtape.com/amritpal-rai/
