a lout of the sporty who is there's some rumors that she might be one of the ones to win best director now is a lot of emphasis on the female directors in the competition sections i can definitely recommend fili i mean especially if you are a mother who has a daughter who yes definitely and i say could be one of the picks for the awards in just over an hour's time if i had to pick a really low light for me i had to be just a day or so ago there was a documentary of the screen here songwriter about. not a fan of the guy not a fan of this documentary it's a fly on the wall thing but it basically comes off as a bad home movie about a pop star who i really have seen too much of already and if i had to go like there's a swedish film called the real estate which i can't even really tell you what it's a really bizarre apparently it's about an older woman reclaiming her youth or whatever but it actually just features along scenes of people talking about swedish real estate yeah skip it was basically we've been to war and why is traitor scott
