Been meaning to do this for a while but here is a thread of good stuff I've watched this year and what platform you can find it on. I'll add to it gradually while we're in lockdown, and maybe keep it going depending on how much effort this turns out to be.
A Vigilante (2018) [Netflix] - Brutal, intense, domestic abuse revenge-thriller starring Olivia Wilde. It's upsetting, mad, but enthralling in equal measures.

Paddleton (2019) [Netflix] - Heart-warming, touching yet ultimately sad film about an unlikely friendship forming between neighbours, with excellent performances from Ray Romano and Mark Duplass.

Phantom Thread (2017) [Netflix] - A petulant dressmaker meets his match with his new muse, and it's brilliant. The score, the cinematography, Vicki Krieps and DDL performances were unbelievably good - it's a romance film but not like any I've seen before.

The Fits (2015) [iPlayer > Now Rentable] - A crazy, whirlwind of a film clocking in at only 71 minutes about a bizarre wave of fits that plagues the dance team right as tomboy Toni decides to join. Impeccably shot, intriguing and fantastic performances from the young cast.

Tag (2015) [Prime] - One of those batshit crazy Sion Sono films. Mitsuko (Reina Triendl) is the only survivor of a unexpectedly brutal event, and the film unravels in a surreal and inventive way thereafter. Pillow-fights, decapitation, gunfights and crocodiles. Ridiculous.

Peterloo (2018) [Prime] - I knew nothing about the event going into this, but afterwards I wanted to know everything about it. Topical in its content, it's a draining, dialogue focussed film but the savage climax is harrowing beyond words.

The Platform (2019) [Netflix] - Centres around a prison with an unknown number of levels and food on a platform that descends upon its inmates. High-Rise/Snowpiercer easy comparisons, but it's a league of its own. Although muddled at times, it's grimly captivating - worth a go.

The Guilty (2018) [Netflix] - An alarm dispatcher receives a call from someone being kidnapped, and she needs rescuing. That's the film. Stumbled across this single location Danish thriller by chance, and had me hooked from the opening scene. Loved it.

The Flu (2013) [Prime] - If you like your thrillers a little closer to home, then this South Korean disease disaster thriller is as close as they come given the current circumstances. Panic and anxiety inducing for some, eerily relevant entertainment for others.

Girl on the Third Floor (2019) [Netflix] - This is no ordinary horror film, a sort of body horror meets haunted house, with Phil Brooks (aka CM Punk) in the lead, it's one of the rare wrestler/MMA turned actor movies that's actually good.

Ingrid Goes West (2017) [Netflix] - This one was a rewatch for me. Anything to tackle the obsession of social media narcissism is of immediate interest. Starring Elizabeth Olsen and Aubrey Plaza, this dark comedy-drama although uncomfortable at times, hits all the right notes.

Ozark (Season 2) [Netflix] - Did season 1 a while back and gave up on this before it even got going. No idea why. Despite it being so dark I had to boost the brightness up to max just to make out what's going on, it's a captivating piece of TV. Roll on Season 3.
