RIP Bernard Hill
Age hasn't been kind to the CGI in those movies.

I watched Back To Black a few weeks ago. A truly gut wrenching film illustrating the downward spiral of an ordinary girl thrust into a world of fame and press intrusion.
I thought the descent into alcoholism and her self desruction was dealt with brilliantly.

Civil War (the recent Alex Garland film, not the Marvel movie) is pretty good. Trailer sells it as more of an action flick than it is, although the last quarter delivers on that front, but it's an interesting road movie the rest of the time. Pontificating on everything from the role of conflict journalism to where a nation's fault lines are and the ingloriousness of war.
