Lost in London (2017)

This is one of the most unusual films I’ve never heard of, an audacious directorial debut. It was a Woody Harrelson Joint, written by him, directed by him, produced by him, headlined by him and recreating “the worst night of his life from 2002”.
Also, it was shot in a single take with one camera, part of a small number of "real“ continuous shot feature films ('Russian Ark', 'Victoria', 'Boiling point' - but not 'Birdman' and '1917'). It was also the first movie ever to be live-broadcasted at the same time it was shot, on January 19, 2017 (to 550 theaters).
On top of all that, it was an heartfelt roller-coaster with a great confessional story, and had one of the funniest scenes I've ever seen (the shocking vomit scene at the club toilet...). A technical and emotional marvel - 9/10!
(Also, I didn’t know that he was a serious Chess player).
The trailer.

Watched this last night and it was a lot of fun. The Bono phone call was funny (he converted to Rastafarianism). My only complaint is it could have been about 30 minutes shorter.
