Fancy watching a film this evening, something I’ve not watched before. Could people give suggestions with brief descriptions please?

Not a film, but a short series, Unorthodox. It's brilliant series based in truth, about a woman that flees the Hasidic community in New York. One of the best things I've watched in ages, the acting is incredible. Only 4 episodes.

Thank you, that sounds very interesting! I love a based on true events film/programme too.

Always be my maybe, rom com with a great cameo from Keanu Reeves.

"Reunited after 15 years, famous chef Sasha and hometown musician Marcus feel the old sparks of attraction but struggle to adapt to each other's worlds."

F I need a good film to watch tonight too

ChelseaCat · 05/04/2020 19:15

A Simple Favour - woman goes missing and her best friend looks for her. Can’t remember much else except good twist! It’s Blake Lively and Anna Kendrick. Some fabulous outfits!

Not a film but a 4 part series- Self made. It's based on a true story I'm on episode 4 and it's really good so far!

The Lost Girls. True story.

WhoWants2Know · 05/04/2020 21:42

I loved A Simple Favour more the second time.

Purpleorangegerberas · 06/04/2020 08:26

@MissBax I started unorthodox last night and watched the first 2 parts and what a fabulous recommendation, thank you! I’m enjoying it so much and can’t wait to watch the next two parts this evening!

Oh excellent, I'm so glad you're enjoying it. The main actress is fantastic. There's also a 'making of' to watch after, and if you're further interested in the topic, there's a documentary called One of Us also on Netflix about the same thing.

Another vote for Always be my maybe! It was much better than I expected it to be.

gerbo · 06/04/2020 09:59

We enjoyed The Irishman, De Niro is brilliant in it.

peachypetite · 06/04/2020 10:00

I tonya has just dropped

PutThemInTheIronMaiden · 06/04/2020 10:11

I was SO disappointed in the Irishman.

Fedupofitnow123 · 06/04/2020 10:36

Marking my spot!

buckeejit · 06/04/2020 11:13

About time - was an on tv I think we truied a few years ago & really enjoyed it

APurpleSquirrel · 06/04/2020 11:15

A Quiet Place - good but scary. Looking forward to seeing part 2 when it's eventually released.

SugarButterFlour · 06/04/2020 11:20

Unorthodox is fantastic. Shira Haas, the lead, is a phenomenal actress.

FreckledLeopard · 06/04/2020 11:21

We watched Three Identical Strangers on Netflix on Saturday - documentary and absolutely brilliant to watch.
