Suswatibasu (1701 KP) rated 20th Century Women (2017) in Movies
Oct 15, 2017 (Updated Oct 15, 2017)
A solid drama with beautiful cinematography
I began watching this thinking it would be like Little Miss Sunshine aka dark humour but good comedy. But it's not at all - it's pure drama, but still good nevertheless.
Annette Bening plays a lonely 54 year old mother living with her teenage son, and various lodgers in 1979. There's a massive generational divide, Bening was born in the 1920's and feels overwhelmed with her son in this era where punk rock is all the rage and there's general apathy at the world.
At this point she asks for help from her lodger, a young feminist photographer in remission from cervical cancer and a much older hippy mechanic. Instead they seem to confuse the situation further due to a gap in understanding about one another's circumstances, causing mother and son to further drift apart.
It's a different style of coming-of-age film because it shows how the mother's role is also changing and adapting to a new age of politics and societal pressures. A poignant, beautifully shot drama.

GameCritics (290 KP) rated Papers Please in Video Games
Oct 15, 2017
t’s bleak, oppressive, perfectly paced and utterly gripping. But with its downtrodden lo-fi visuals and peculiar focus on complicated paperwork, it’s not going to be a game for everyone.

Sure it can frustrate like hell but when you finally give that Tunnel Man what he needs meaning you never have to (if you dont want
) see another giant bee again, man, that feeling is good

GameCritics (290 KP) rated The Stanley Parable in Video Games
Oct 15, 2017
It's a fascinating, interesting take on videogame narrative, and unlike other interactive fiction games that take place in 3D space, Stanley Parable has the added bonus of feeling rewarding whenever you discover a new path
