Which Way Home- about children trying to illegally immigrate(mostly on their own) into the states from central america and mexico. totally soul crushing.
la mission- you have to watch it. so good.
cropsey- a documentary on the urban legends surrounding willowbrook state mental hospital and andre rand. it was pretty interesting.
epicly later'd: john cardiel- about john cardiel, his life as a pro skater, and his recovery after being paralyzed. i think it was put out by Vice, but it's actually a pretty good watch.
kurt cobain: about a son- not a huge Nirvana fan (i like and respect them, but i don't love them), but this film was beautiful. i had never really heard Cobain talk about his life in his own words, so it was nice to hear his perspective on everything. visually, it was stunning.
moon- totally thought it was going to be a ripoff of solaris and 2001, but it ended not being one, and was so much more. totally bawling by the end of it!
beautiful losers- documentary that was based off of the traveling exhibition with the same title, featuring artists like Barry McGee, Sheherd Fairey, etc. and directed by Andy Rose. i found it inspirational, regardless of how much i relate to the actual work being made.
champion- documentary on Danny Trejo!!!
the proposition- written by Nick Cave, it's a western that takes place in the Austrailian outback. very Cormac McCarthyish. could watch it a million times.
i've loved you so long - totally thought this was going to be some kind of european "chick flick" (i hate that term and i hate the movies that go along with it), but boy was i wrong. it's about a woman who is released from prison after serving time for murder, and returns to her sister's home to rebuild her life. it's really a film about being outcasted and finding redemption. also about forgiving, not only others, but yourself for the choices you have made in your life.
