Why does nobody like The Wind That Shakes the Barley? Maybe because it's the only Loach I've seen, but I thought it was pretty decent.

I'll get this calculated this week. Sarah and I are trying to watch one last one of Loach's films, so once we finish it I'll get this up.

Carla's Song - 5.5

Well, that was underwhelming. It came off as simultaneously too earnest and too mechanical, like something the Dardennes might do but without the vision or style.

I'll get this tabulated tonight/tomorrow.
