Antibirth
While this had some interesting portrayals of middle America, this one kind of sucked. It was like a Spring Breakers (which I enjoyed), except set in a rundown trailer in the boonies and the movie falls flat on its face with some really stupid plot decisions as an attempt to be horrific. At first I enjoyed the House of 1000 Corpses meets It Follows had sex with Gummo vibe, but it wasn't enough to carry the film. You're probably better off avoiding this one. 3.5/10
The Place Beyond the Pines
Even though this movie was trying to cash in on the success of Drive and wrote in high speed robbery chases but with a motorcycle instead of a car and ambiguous tattoos instead of ambiguous jackets into a script that made up a lot of the rest of the movie, I still loved it. The camerawork in particular made a lot of the scenes spchincter clenchingly intense. The ending fizzled out a bit in the end but it's very powerful. Very great film and highly recommended. 9/10
