The Aviary (2022)
Don't watch this film if you like movies that clearly explain things
This film is a psychological thriller. As such, everything is not laid out neatly for the viewer. You will be left to figure out a few things on your own. If that doesn't sound appealing then you shouldn't watch this film. There's far more to this movie than two people screaming at each other in the desert, as some reviewers have written. I've rated over 500 movies on IMDb. This is the most underrated film I've come across. For best viewing, watch it without any preconceived ideas based around Hollywood formulas. If you're as much of a fan of psychological thrillers as I am, you won't be disappointed.
Pumpkin (2002)
You'll probably either love this film or hate it
This is one of the most unique films I've ever seen. While attempting to expose the hypocrisy of societal norms is not new in storytelling, the way it's done in Pumpkin is unique. The film is almost a spoof of itself in the same way the characters are almost caricatures of themselves. It does not fit neatly into any single genre or style. I would describe it as a dark and light comedy drama love story with 1970s spoof undertones. This is accomplished not only in obvious ways with script and setting, but also through its cinematic style and flat out silliness (at times). Some scenes are clearly a satirical nod to films of eras past. It makes clear that the societal issues covered in the story are serious and problematic, but always in an entertaining non-preachy way.
