what an absolutely incredible movie, genuine and human as they get, captivating and haunting from first scene til last in such an innocent messed up way. Defenitely better then Spotlight for me.
Its insane to consider the kid and Brie Larson were acting, their chemistry was so friggin real you got lost in their connection.
@Völler thanks for being the reason I watched it (my mother pretty much cried at the end). Son of Saul has to be beyond brilliant to be better then this.

Wow, what a crappy Oscar show. I love Leo, and he should have won the Oscars before, 3 other movies that come to mind, was Black Diamond, Shutter Island and Gangs of New York, way better in these 3 for me compared to his performance in Revenant, I just felt that the movie overall was just so so, and Tom Hardy was even better and he wasn't even that good in it to win Supporting male. Then again, the other remaining nominees in male lead weren't that great this year. Happy to see Mad Max win so many, George Miller probably should have gotten the nod for best directing, but then Inarritu won it for that shitfest Birdman, so I don't really know how the Academy even selects this.
Highlights and the awards that got me happy were Brie Larson, Morricone and of course my man Louis CK's monologue. Sad that the documentary based on the Genocide in Indonesia, Look of Silence didn't win. Overall, the whole oscarsowhite thing was just too much, the Chris rock going to Compton was pretty funny in the sense that these black Americans really need to see more real movies, I bet they don't even know of non American black actors/actresses.
All in all, much better movies this year compared to last year, I just hope neither NPH or Chris Rock hosts.
I would love to see CK, but I wouldn't mind seeing Conan O'brien or Tina Fey. Leave Gervais for the Globes.

Holy shit. The title of this film makes me somewhat embarrassed to have enjoyed it so much, but Diary of a Teenage Girl was amazing. Right up near the top of 2015 films for me. The fact it's a first feature for Marielle Heller is really impressive.
And Bel Powley in the lead role!
Best acting performance of 2015 imo.

Glad you liked it.Son of Saul is a different beast entirely. The look of the film is really unique, unlike anything I've seen before. It doesn't, however, do anything to make you emotionally attached to the main character. It's much more of an art film. But they are impossible to compare.
I'm pretty sure both Post Ironic and Klin mentioned it too, but thanks. Glad you liked it.

And btw, Brie Larson is a bitch for not taking the kid up with her to collect the Oscar.
Do you think I'll like it?
