Saorise Ronan has been on the independent film train this year. She is using her incredible talent to highlight why smaller budget films are what cinema can be. FOE was released earlier this year and is based on a book. Now as the film never hit theatres it is not eligible for awards season, but we will talk a little bit about that later. I am trying to assemble a little, mini awards show for streaming services which feels like it’s bound to happen eventually anyway. For now it will happen on my YouTube channel with me as all the presenters. But this movie deserves all of the awards. From the incredible story to the jaw dropping twist, it was perfection.
Wow what a ride. That may have been one of the best films I have watched this year. Saoirse is always incredible so that was not a surprise, but Paul’s range in this movie was incredible and it’s really a shame that it’s not awards eligible because it absolutely deserves some recognition. FOE was an excellent exploration of relationships, self growth and learning when it’s time to let go and walk away. God it’s really hard for me to not give this film a perfect score so 10/10 it is.
