The film is about Marlo, a mother of three including a newborn, who is

Never take your mistress on an annual guys' getaway, especially
one devoted to hunting- a violent lesson for three wealthy married men.
This was the last film I saw at The Overlook Film Festival,
and they clearly saved the best for last.
My absolute favorite of the fest. Lean, mean, grotesque
and over the top, but somehow very controlled in its
storytelling at the same time. The cinematography is fantastic,
the performances far better than you'd expect from this sort of film.
Only recommended for those with a strong stomach, an incredibly strong effort
from a first time director.French
Score: 9/10

A headstrong young girl in Afghanistan disguises herself as a boy
in order to provide for her family.From the creators of
The Secret of Kells & Song of the Sea comes an unexpectedly bleak,
depressing & powerfully evocative story that's crafted
with the same passion, devotion & intimacy as their previous
efforts, and paints a dark, disturbing & daring portrait
of life under the regime of terror. Arresting, enchanting & thoroughly
captivating, The Breadwinner is another winning feature
from Cartoon Saloon that not
only establishes them as a strong creative force
but also catapults them into the same league as Pixar, Laika & Studio Ghibli....Yawn
Score: 4/10

The film follows fifteen-year-old Charley Thompson.
He wants a home, food on the table and a high school

Hoping for a new start they move to Portland, Oregon
where Charley takes a summer job, with a washed-up
horse trainer, and befriends a failing racehorse
named Lean on Pete.
Score: 7/10

Careful more than one movie has this same title.
Mary is an ordinary young girl stuck in the country with
her Great-Aunt Charlotte and seemingly no adventures
or friends in sight. She follows a mysterious cat into the
nearby forest, where she discovers an old
broomstick and the strange Fly-by-Night flower,
a rare plant that blossoms only once every seven
years and only in that forest. Together the flower and
the broomstick whisk Mary above the clouds and far away
to Endor College - a school of magic run by headmistress
Madam Mumblechook and the brilliant Doctor Dee.
But there are terrible things happening at the school,
and, when Mary tells a lie, she must risk her
life to try to set things right. Based on Mary Stewart's 1971
classic children's book "The Little Broomstick"
"Mary and The Witch's Flower" is an action-packed
film full of jaw-dropping imaginative worlds,
ingenious characters, and the stirring,
heartfelt story of a young girl trying to find
a place in the world. Not Boring at all Jim..lol
Score: 8/10
