Loving Vincent (2017) ***
Visually stunning animated film about the death of Vincent Van Gogh. A coproduction between Poland and the United Kingdom.
Darkest Hour (2017) ***
A companion piece to "Dunkirk", showing what was happening on the English side of the Channel as Churchill become Prime Minister during Britain's darkest hour.
Battle Of The Sexes (2017) ***
Feminism, lesbianism and tennis. Excellent film about the famous tennis match between Bobby Riggs and Billie Jean King.
Star Wars: Episode VIII - The Last Jedi (2017) ***
Less impressive than the previous "Star Wars" films (except "Episode II", of course), but still a solid sci-fi space opera.
The Big Sick (2017) ***
A unique film that starts like a romantic comedy, turns into a disease-of-the-week melodrama and ends like a Bollywood family drama, only without any musical numbers. And it's all based on a true story.
The Villainess (2017) ***
Superb opening scene, and several other exciting action scenes (including a swordfight on racing motocycles in a tunnel) in this South Korean version of "Nikita" (1990).
