Very good submitted by mandevil on March 13, 2019, 2:32pm A biopic of the French writer Collette. Interesting story and good historical setting and costumes.

Wonderful submitted by anacoluthon on July 2, 2019, 12:39am A brilliant film that touches on the confining nature of gender roles, which also shows that people have been expanding their concepts of gender identity for ages!
