#LetterboxdFriday BROKEN VOICES - 🇨🇿 🇸🇰 Subtle, based-on-true-story drama about grooming and abuse in a prestigious girls' choir. Beautifully acted by its young cast ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ FRAULEIN - 🇩🇪 A young woman from Bosnia changes the outlook of an older woman from Yugoslavia ('No-one calls it that any more') through what the blurb calls 'an unlikely friendship'. Solid enough, but hits a few too many cliches along its way ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ FAR FROM THE MADDING CROWD - 🇬🇧 🇺🇸 Postcard pretty York Notes adaptation of the novel that hits most of the major plot points but completely misses the soul of the book by flattening the story down to a bucolic romance. Also, Bathsheba Everdene is so modern, she doesn't know the origin of her own first name. In 19th century England? O...K. But it's zippy and I can't pretend I wasn't entertained ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ AURORA - 🇷🇴 Imagine Chantal Akerman had made Taxi Driver. It's a little bit like that ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ #LastFourWatched
