What I Watched — February 2021 – Musings of A Streaming Junkie

There was a lot of movie watching going on in February — between Sundance, MyFrenchFilmFestival, Paris International Film Festival and Slamdance (wrap up coming soon), there was a lot of watch! But I had a fun time watching some really interesting, thought-provoking and heartwarming films from all around the world. Definitely can’t say I was bored in February LOL. So lets take a look at what I watched (80 in total — I didn’t films I had already seen — 36 Features, 33 Shorts, 5 Docs and 1 Limited Series)…

**“Taipei Suicide Story”** was interesting…**“A Family**” was weird…**“Stealing School**” is an indie gem…**“My Zoe**” caught me off guard…**“Pixie”** was a crazy ride…**“The Sleeping Negro**” was something…**“Colette**” tugged at the heartstrings…**“Spontaneous**” was different…**“Saint Maud”** was boring…**“Promising Young Woman**” was good, but slightly overhyped…**“Save Yourselves!”** was fun…and **“The Long Song**” was hella good.

I thoroughly enjoyed **“I Care a Lot**“…**“The Map of Tiny Perfect Things**” was ok/cute…**“Framing Britney Spears**” was sad and disturbing…Don’t know why it took so long to watch “Manchester by the Sea“…**“Namaste Wahala”** tried…**“Teenage Emotions**” was a very real look at the lives of teenagers…**“Feeling Through”** was amazing and touching (stay tuned for follow up)…

“**The Ultimate (By Lou Fescano)”** was darkly comical…**“Others”** was out there…**“Each Other**” was disturbing but captivating…“A **Brixton Tale”** was very predictable but good…The “To All the Boys…” franchise will forever hold a place in my heart lol…**“Cherry**” was a big let down…**“Intermission”** was great…**“Felicita”** was charming…

“Cream” was cute little Hungarian rom com…”Little Fish” was interesting…”Just Kids” was touching…”Heroes Don’t Die” didn’t grab me…”Malcolm & Marie” was alluring…”The Little Things” was stale…”Souvenir, souvenir” was great…

“**Writing with Fire”** was a great doc about female journalists in India…**“Jockey**” saw a solid performance from *Clifton Collins Jr.*..“The **Criminals**” was a great, thought-provoking short…I wasn’t quite sure what message I was supposed to take away from **“White** **Wedding**“…**“I ran from it and was still in it**” was an interesting short…

I enjoyed **“Wiggle Room**“…**“Flee**” is an animated documentary that might be one of the Top 5 docs I’ve seen in recent years…*The Joy* *Luck Clu*b might be one of my favorite books so it was interesting to see Amy Tan’s backstory…I thought “The World to Come” was flat and boring, such a disappointment for a solid cast…**“Judas and the Black Messiah**” was really good…**“Violation**” will challenge you…**“We’re All Going to the World’s Fair”** wasn’t my cup of tea…**“Don’t Go Tellin’ Your Momma”** was an interesting concept…**“Yo**u **Wouldn’t Understand**” was refreshingly funny…**“Raspberry**” was really good…**“Mayday**” was interesting…**“Pleasure**” was quite the film, but in a good way…

“Ma Belle, My Beauty” was a cute French relationship drama…”Prisoners of the Ghostland” was bananas (and not in a good way)…”Together Together” was charming…

So that was what I saw last month…quite a lot…but well worth the hours spent in front of the screen. If you want more of my initial impressions of the films I watch, check me out over at Letterboxd.

What did you watch last month? The good? The bad? And the ugly?
