Movie Choices for Saturday 09-27-20

Here are the options for movies to discuss this coming Sunday afternoon. Clicking on the movie title shows you streaming service availability and pricing on the JustWatch site.

  1. Lengua Franca (2020, 95 minutes)

Olivia, an undocumented Filipino transwoman, works as a caregiver to Olga, an elderly Russian-American (Jewish) woman, in Brighton Beach, Brooklyn. When Olivia runs out of options to attain legal status in the US, she becomes romantically involved with Alex, Olga's adult grandson, in the pursuit of a marriage-based green card.

Rotten Tomatoes: Critics= 82% Audience= 59%

  1. Embrace Of The Serpent (2015, 123 minutes)

In the early 1900s, a young shaman (Nilbio Torres) in the Colombian Amazon helps a sick German explorer (Jan Bijvoet) and his local guide (Miguel Dionisio Ramos) search for a rare healing plant.

Rotten Tomatoes: Critics= 96% Audience= 84%

  1. House of Hummingbird (2020, 135 minutes)

Whatever she does, Eunhee feels like an outsider. Then her new Chinese teacher turns out to be so utterly different from everybody else. A compassionate and meticulously told narrative of a seemingly regular summer that leaves nothing unchanged. (Korean with subtitles)

Rotten Tomatoes: Critics= 100% Audience= 63%

Here’s how to participate:

  • Zoom discussion Sunday 9/27 4:30pm. Rachel and I will start watching the movie Sunday after lunch, but you can watch it whenever it’s most convenient for you!
  • Use the PollJunkie link in the email to rank these movies from top (favorite) to bottom (what were they thinking??), and add your name in the PollJunkie comment box.
  • Voting ends: Thursday 6pm. We’ll email you Friday morning to let you know which one was the winner, so you’ll have plenty of time to watch it before Sunday afternoon!
  • Sunday we’ll send you a Zoom link for the 4:30 discussion.

Hope you can join us to talk about the (hopefully good) group-chosen movie!

--- Dan & Rachel

Note: If for any reason you want to make a comment (on text or at a particular time on a trailer) you’ll need a free NowComment account.
