Fanny och Alexander - 8/10 (way different than I expected it to be! way better actually.)
Rebecca - 10/10 (just like films should be)
17 again - 6/10 (unexpectedly very funny)

Rent - The Final Performance - 8/10 (being a fan...)
Mutiny on the Bounty ('35) - 8/10 (interesting)

Happy Go Lucky (2008; Mike Leigh) 9/10
Absolutely wonderful film, with an irresistably perfect performance by Sally Hawkins.

I don't think I've ever seen Precious grade a film so strongly. I like Kore-eda quite a bit, so this just shoots my expectations up.
I hope fans of Kore-eda get a chance to see this wonderful film. It's been doing the festival circuit for the last 12 months and does not appear to have a distributor in either the U.S. or the U.K. but it's bound to turn up sometime in the future.
It's somewhat in the tradition of Ozu's family drama's and for my money as great as the best of them. It has some contemporary humor (there is a joke about ebay) and an act of cruelty that's all too human. The acting from the ensemble is flawless (You, who played the neglectful mother in Nobody Knows way my favorite as a very mother from that one in this) though there are no with big 'look at me' emotional moments for the actors, just quiet observation that nevertheless packs an emotional punch.
I wouldn't want to see a frame of this film changed. My partner felt the same way.
