Pretend That You Love Me (2020)
A true independent film
This unique little film uses its "one man army production" as a strength, and tells its story through a narrative a larger production would not be able to. Joel Haver is able to tackle his emotional longing for love in a most intimate fashion, by making you aware of himself as a filmmaker making a film. After having followed him on a number of different dates that all unfold in a very similar manner. We get a sense that the whole project is not just "some film", but an experimental process Joel endures in hopes of creating something with a lasting value. As the film continues the somewhat constructed love story crumbles, as Joel is met with a most devastating event, now in need of intimate love more than ever. A beautifully sad and profound film about loneliness that never can be replicated. An experience so honest and raw, that left me hopeful about the future of independent filmmaking. And its on YouTube!!!
Gone Girl (2014)
David Fincher does it again!
Gone Girl is directed by the mastermind of David Fincher. Amazingly written by Gillian Flynn whom wrote the novel the film is based on. Starring Ben Affleck as Nick Dunne and Rosamund Pike as Amy Elliot Dunne. On the day of their 5th wedding anniversary Nick's wife, Amy disappears out of nowhere, and this crazy, intense and haunting journey begins. David Fincher and Gillian Flynn's intelligent storytelling trough out this fantastic journey will keep at the edge of your seat from start to end. The soundtrack and score is also very intense and haunting, and has huge impact on the film. The performances from all the actors, especially Rosamund Pike are top notch which really helps the element of the realism stand out in this film.
Gone Girl is easily the best film I have seen this year so far, and I have to give it a 10/10. It is also one of the best films from David Fincher in my opinion. I strongly advice everyone to go and see Gone Girl, it is one thrilling ride.
