I thought that movie sucked and completely missed the point of its own plot. I only watched once so maybe I need a rewatch but I remember feeling like the movie made a hero out of a terrible man and, despite the story of the movie, managed to marginalize its female lead.

Anyways, watched the conversation and rear window the last couple days. Both nearly flawless movies. 

I think the point of the movie was to show the perspective of each of the three involved.  The husband, the accused rapist, and the wife/alleged victim.  It was based on an actual historical event and from my understanding the perspectives shown were based on the testimony of each and how it lead to the last trial by combat recorded in history because of the he said/he said/she said thing.

I get that was their goal but to me the movie marginalized the most important voice in their story.

Watched Strange Darling on a flight. Good bloody fun. Great acting by Willa Fitzgerald of Reacher fame. Kinda Shyamalan meets Tarantino. Don’t let anyone tell you anything about it just see it.

Watched Heretic on a flight. Good fun for Hugh Grant alone. Nice short watch, not too gory or scary if you have fraidy cats in your circles. 

Heretic was a good watch. As you said, it has the horror vibe without the gore. Hugh Grant was great and I also thought Chloe East did well too.

I didn't recognize Topher Grace until the credits rolled. It's been awhile since I have seen him in anything.

The last thing I recall seeing him in was an episode of that animated Netflix series Love Death & Robots.
