10 Most Exciting Movies Coming Out of LFF 2020
3. David Byrne’s American Utopia
Director: Spike Lee
Screenwriter: David Byrne
Starring: David Byrne
“Sitting somewhere between a performance and a concert, American Utopia manages to populate its runtime with the same ideas and meditations as any other intelligent piece of highbrow theatre, while also transferring the feeling of reckless abandonment that settles in as soon as the lights go down whenever an artist takes the stage.” – Leoni Horton
David Byrne’s American Utopia Review
4. Supernova
Director: Harry MacQueen
Screenwriter: Harry MacQueen
Starring: Colin Firth, Stanley Tucci
“It’s a key example of Firth’s strength in a subdued but utterly captivating overall performance; one that sees the Oscar winning actor grow into a pained man, Firth exemplifying not only the hurt that Sam must be going through but the inner strength it takes to love and care for a deteriorating partner.” – Charlie Gardiner
Supernova Review
5. Possessor
Director: Brandon Cronenberg
Screenwriter: Brandon Cronenberg
Starring: Andrea Riseborough, Christopher Abbott, Jennifer Jason Leigh, Sean Bean, Tuppence Middleton
“Without mercy or restraint, and with pure, unfiltered access, Brandon Cronenberg burrows deep into the foundations of the human psyche. His sophomore feature, Possessor, is a mind-bending Inception meets Freaky Friday mash-up, filled to the brim with unrelenting bloodlust and untamed nastiness.” – Leoni Horton
