mediareport was kind enough to support MeFi with a donation. Their request was for six recent films that were big hits outside of the US but didn't get much attention stateside. There was a problem, though, in that I was only able to narrow the field to 14 films. Fortunately Soap_and_Bathetic kicked in an extra $15 to push me to share the entire list. I'll be using the tag #PopcornWorld

I loved this book and the series, but the trailer has so many cliches I'm worried about the movie. I'll give it a try, though.

It's a particular kind of melodrama that may not work for everyone, but my spouse loves that stuff.

The book was AMAZING! I'd definitely check out the movie if it were findable.

Just watched this in the U.S. on Kanopy. Interesting watch. A bit haunting with the background of an ongoing drought and fires. 7.5/10 would watch again.
