Logan (2010)

My Movie Rating:

6 / 10

Lokas (2008)

Alright and entertaining movie, but La Cage aux folles is funnier and better-plotted and has a more relaxed and affectionate sympathy for its flamboyant characters.

My Movie Rating:

7 / 10

The Loneliest Runner (1976)

Some laughably gee-whiz dialogue and unconvincing Olympics bookends ultimately can't detract from the core story. It's based on Michael Landon's own childhood experiences and has the ring of truth to it. The three central performances are all good.

My Movie Rating:

9 / 10

The Long Day Closes (1992)

Terence Davies is England's greatest living filmmaker and his autobiographical work is by far his best. Much of his other work is less inspired, but his film of the Terence Rattigan play The Deep Blue Sea is quite something as well, even though it's perhaps not cast exactly right.

Lost Boy (2018)

Good film! Doesn't take the easy way out.

9 / 10

The Lost Boys (1978)

Some of the boys' acting is a bit hit-or-miss but that's a minor quibble. Really very good indeed. Would make a good dual watch with Dreamchild, in which Ian Holm plays Lewis Carroll, and with Jan Švankmajer's Alice.

My Movie Rating:

9 / 10

Lost in Yonkers (1993)

Good movie of the Neil Simon play.

My Movie Rating:

8 / 10

The Lost Prince (2003)

Very Poliakoff. Overlook the odd inaccuracy and anachronism and you have an absorbing piece of TV with a fascinating central character nicely played by Matthew James Thomas.

My Movie Rating:

9 / 10

Louis, enfant roi (1993)

Rich and involving treatment, though not as good as The Taking of Power by Louis XIV.

My Movie Rating:

8 / 10

Love Does Grow On Trees (2008)

Could make a good dual watch with the shorts Offside and Two Piece.

My Movie Rating:

9 / 10

Love Lessons for Miles (2009)

My Movie Rating:

6 / 10

Love That Boy (2003)

Unique movie, stylistically plain, at times goofily hyper-real, at times touchingly realistic.

My Movie Rating:

8 / 10

Lu bing hua (1989)

My Movie Rating:

8 / 10

Lucas (1986)

My Movie Rating:

9 / 10

Lucky (2011)

Feature film that grew out of the director's short film of the same name. The short film, included on the Film Movement DVD, is better, a real must-watch, as is the Swedish series Don't Ever Wipe Tears Without Gloves. This one does too much telling rather than showing and you can feel it straining a bit. Nonetheless it has lots of good qualities, including clear and classic cinematography and good old-fashioned storytelling -- in fact the plot's a bit like a twenty-first-century South African version of Oliver Twist. Sihle Dlamini sturdily carries the enterprise on his young shoulders and the two main adult actors are very big names.

My Movie Rating:

8 / 10

Ma forêt (2012)

My Movie Rating:

9 / 10

Ma vie en rose (1997)

A wonderful movie. It's not meant to be totally realistic: it was conceived as a modern fairy tale. For a more realistic take on similar subject matter, see Gun Hill Road, or Noor, or the fictional shorts Barbie Boy, Sam, D. Asian and Eddie, or the documentary shorts Pink Boy and Niet op meisjes...but don't forget that way back in 1997, this earnest, broad-brush, heart-on-its-sleeve film was out there paving the way for those more nuanced and wide-ranging depictions of gender-variant people.
