Far from Men (Loin des hommes)
Very interesting movie set in French Colonial Algerie, starring Viggo Mortensen.
The narrative follows Daru, an Algerian-born French teacher, tasked with delivering Mohammad, an Algerian murder suspect, into the hands of French authorities as the Algerian War of Independence ignites.

This Is Where I Leave You
Loved this in 2019, look forward to seeing it again. It just started.
After this, 40 movies left from 2014, 25 I’ve seen before, and 15 I’ve never seen.

I have a visceral reaction to advertising and promotion. There's just something about salesmanship that grates on me on a very base level and I react very negatively towards it. I want those people to suffer and I want their enterprises to fail.

It’s bottom tier Anderson. The whole story-within-story thing is exhausting to me. Lost 20 minutes and just focus on the main story.
I agree.

As a comedy, I don’t find it funny. My wife, who has not seen it before, seems to find it quite funny.
As a drama, it is hard to take it seriously. Even if I compare it to the sillier Coen movies.
The cinematograhy is highly loved, but does nothing for me.
Still, I do think I will rate it slightly higher than before. I’m up to it’s ok watching it, sometimes a third viewing can be the better than the ones before it . At least it’s well made, and has a somewhat interesting story.

Wow, what a crummy lineup. The Grand Budapest Hotel is easily the best one there, and it's not even that great

Y'all are crazy about GBH. It's easily the best West Anderson film and it's not even close.

Once, a long time ago. It’s in my final thirty movies to see from 2014, coming up these days.
