Terrible year for movies. But I did enjoy the Housemaid.

Thanks for the recommendation. I’ve noticed The Housemaid but haven’t looked at reviews yet. I’ll add it to my watchlist.

This year is better than a lot of people are giving it credit for. It’s strength, however, is in the quiet, introspective character dramas that I happen to like but that don’t get much traction FR.

Freepers have some distinct preference patterns, and a lot of us invariably say they are looking basically for escapism, in various genres.

This year’s best movies, IMHO, are the very opposite of escapist movies. They are movies about the inescapable things, which is to say, they are the stuff of classic drama, however it is framed in the show.

In the movies I listed, the Big D features in several. As do the other two D’s, the two L’s, and the Serenity Prayer themes.

Anyhow, the Housemaid is now on my list. Thanks.

Are you done with her? Can you give her my number?
