A cinema enthusiast has declared one particular film as among the "finest movies" of the decade - and it's currently streaming on Netflix. In recent weeks, numerous programmes have captured public attention, including controversial TV dramas and one must-watch Western movie.
We're all aware that TikTok serves as the ultimate destination for recommendations on virtually everything, so why not give this film a watch? EccyReviews, who commands an impressive 350,300 followers, recently highlighted "one of the greatest films of the decade" in a video that accumulated 1,300 likes. He utilised his platform to encourage audiences to view the drama film Hard Truths.
The 2024 drama was penned and helmed by Mike Leigh, featuring a cast that includes Marianne Jean-Baptiste, Michele Austin, and David Webber.
Based in London, the storyline centres on a troubled woman and her bond with her sibling.
The production earned recognition as one of the top 10 independent films of 2024 by the National Board of Review, while Jean-Baptiste secured Best Actress nominations at the Critics' Choice Awards, BAFTA Film Awards and the Gotham Awards.
According to IMDB, the 12A rated picture holds a score of 7.2/10.
The recent TikTok clip explained precisely why this represents the finest film to watch at present.
The content creator declared: "So Netflix has just dropped one of the greatest films of the decade and you need to go and check it out immediately.
"It's raw, it's emotional and it's one of the most human films you will ever see.
"The film is called Hard Truths, this film is just over 90 minutes long, it's set in London, tells a raw and emotional story of grief and depression.
"It's such a gripping film if you've ever grieved for anyone in your life, you will resonate with this film so much, it's such a passionate and beautiful story which more people need to see."
Discussing the acting performances, the critic insisted they were "truly unbelievable" and weren't being "spoken about enough".
"It will make you laugh, it will make you cry," he went on. "It's genuinely a film that will stay with you for a very long time."
The critic finished by saying: "Please get this film on your watch list, get it watched and make sure you tag your friends so they can check out this hidden gem."
