4 Innovative Movies That Missed 2021 Oscar Nominees For Best Picture
This year's list of Best Picture nominees is diverse, poignant, and inevitably incomplete.
Here are 4 innovative, funny, and powerful films the Oscars missed, that you should go stream now.
00:00 - Intro
00:14 - Da 5 Bloods
While composer Terence Blanchard did get an Oscar nomination for the score of "Da 5 Bloods", the film itself and the ensemble cast in Spike Lee's latest joint should not be overlooked.
Four Vietnam War veterans return to Southeast Asia decades after the war to find the remains of their squad leader and a buried treasure they left behind. Spike Lee manages to critique and pay tribute to classic Vietnam War movies, and Delroy Lindo demonstrates an award-worthy range through the explosive and delicate sides of PTSD.
00:45 - First Cow
If you're looking for a patient, poetic film about companionship, the frontier, and a dairy heist, watch "First Cow".
A timid chef and a savvy immigrant form a bond as they steal milk to bake and sell cakes in the early 18 100s. Writer-director Kelly Reichardt uses a tight aspect ratio to immerse you in the rugged landscape of the Pacific Northwest, and her willingness to let every moment linger builds constant tension.
01:13 - The Forty-Year-Old Version
Life as a once buzzworthy playwright approaching middle age is the source of comedy and commentary in "The Forty-Year-Old Version".
Writer/director/star Radha Blank pulls from her own experience fighting to stay authentic in a production pushing her to write for white audiences' expectations of the Black experience.
Things take a bold turn when she steps up to the mic and starts rapping sharply funny and truthful bars as her alter ego, RadhaMUS Prime.
01:40 - Herself
One more film, "Herself", captures the trauma of domestic abuse and the resilience of a mother fighting to rise above it.
The honest portrayal of abuse can make this one a tough watch, but star and co-writer Clare Dunne finds warmth and hope in her character and her community. You'll end up being inspired by this tireless mother figuring out how to literally build her own home to save herself and her daughters.
OK, don't miss out on these 4 critically acclaimed films.
