The best independent movie you have ever seen.

[Allromanticsmeetthesamefate]

I have never been a huge fan of high budget movies, I can appreciate the escapism, beautiful casts and thrill of them but I much prefer a movie where I can connect, occasionally relate and watch a plot or character unfold. For that reason I prefer smaller/independent movies and absolutely love when I find a gem.

Wondering for this reason if you could recommend me your favourite smaller or independent films.

Ugh this is such a wonderful film. I saw it as a very young teen and was mesmerised and still am. That scene with the piano, what a performance. I might watch it tonight and weep 😂

I also love Ken Loach movies particularly I Daniel Blake

I think most Mike Leigh films fit under the criteria of great Independent ones.

Parasite and Sinners are two of the most recent I've enjoyed.

Sideways

I saw one this morning that was an absolute joy, though a tough watch in places. Bird. On iplayer.

One of my favourites too 😍

Ghost World. So underrated. Watch it now!

Hunt for the wilderpeople (NZ)
Gold Run (Swedish)

Hard agree.

Anyone who enjoyed The Station Agent may also enjoy another indie from that director - Win Win.

Some other gems:

Enough Said
Lone Star
The Holdovers
Rachel Getting Married
The Immigrant

Not for the faint of heart! Love Paddy though.

Blue juice. Sean pertwee. Catherine ZJ. Beautiful Cornwall.
