The Little Stranger (2018) -It is a crafted piece of film though a dark horror/thriller put together to tell a story of a man Dr. Faraday who yearns to live in a part of society he can never truly be a part of. If you watch this film with that thought in mind, you'll understand it better.
A Dry White Season (1989) -The film really belongs to star Donald Sutherland though and I think it a pity he wasn't given any Oscar nomination for this fine film with an eternal message about freedom. It is a film which will stay with you. The plot follows a white South African on an adventure through bewilderment, revelation, denial, disgust, and a futile attempt to fight a grossly unfair system. It showcases the apartheid movement in a fine light.
Season of the Witch (1972) -A thoughtful character study with supernatural tinges, misleading marketed as a straightforward horror film due to Romero's reputation, this film raises more questions than it can answer but is involving despite its leisurely pace. Certainly a more honest confrontation of suburban anomie than the likes of American Beauty, anyway, it boasts a well-modulated lead performance from Jan White, as well as arresting dream sequences and an overall well-sustained quiet tension throughout.
The Guilty (2018) -This tense, tight movie takes place entirely at a 911 emergency call center, and almost all of the time, we see only the police officer talking on the phone.
As the main story unfolds, we get to know the people on the other end of the line and care about them. Given that we never see them, that is impressive, too. And we learn a lot about the our main character -- almost as much as he learns about himself.
