two films come to mind - memorable to me because they are genres I never really watch, but turned out to be really interesting. 1. Love & Monsters (2020) is an action monster movie/love story, but with fun special effects and an actually story to tell. 2. The Girl with all the Gifts (2016) I found when doggedly searching for a redeemable, watchable zombie movie. I am now realizing I probably 1st heard of these films from flickfilosopher!

I agree with you on Mary Magdalene! It is the only Bible film I would ever recommend. And I have always loved Mary's character - the one you get glimpses of now and again if you read your Bible. She's not the goody-two-shoes Mary the Madonna - she's a real, breathing woman that you feel you would have liked to have met!

And as to the film that should have had a wider audience - two please, both Feminist, 'cos all feminist films need a wider audience. The Dressmaker (which you have reviewed) and Ladies in Black. Both Australian too!

My choice would be "Let the sunshine in" a 2017 film with Juliette Binoche
