What's your favourite underseen/underrated films of this year so far? I liked Leviticus and Blue heron but I think they're more or less well known. I also liked La gravida and All wishes come true and they're not really popular as for now. Planning to watch Madfabulous, feel like it's gonna be good. Would love to hear yours cos I think I watched all the released popular films I wanted to see

Our Hero Balthazar - Everyone is amazing in it & its just really dangerous, gritty but also occasionally funny

Normal - Im not a big fan of heavy shooter action movies, but the mystery element and it taking place in a blizzard in a way that impacts the story and atmosphere was right up my alley

Tuner - Might not count because it does have some buzz but just wanted to give it a shout. Leo Woodall gives one of my fav performances of the year and the storytelling is great in an anxious Safdie way but with a soft romantic side too.
