It has been quite a while since I saw most of the movies, but I thought I should write down what I remember before any more time goes by. This year’s SIFF was somewhat disappointing after several phenominal films I saw at last year’s. I will use a similar format and the same 1-5 scale for this years films, as best as I can remember:
Shake Hands with the Devil - Hallowing Documentary - Canada - 3
Fly Filmmaking - Bad Narratives - US - 1.5
Being Caribou - Political Documentary - Canada - 3
Night of the Living Dorks - Over-the-top Comedy - Germany - 3.5
The Warrior - Hallowing Drama - UK - 4
The Circus - Chaplin Comedy - US - 3
Most notably, there were no fives and only one four. I also learned that six movies is my upper limit - I had eight tickets but didn’t make it to some of the movies, so I won’t plan on making that mistake again.
