The Trial of the Chicago 7
Strongly recommend this one on Netflix. Based around the time of the Vietnamese War, this is a courtroom drama about a group of people accused of inciting riots against Chicago PD. Brilliant acting from the entire cast. This one will keep you gripped throughout. Expecting this one to win or at least be nominated for awards. 1968. 2020. Pretty sad how in some ways things haven’t changed at all.
Honestly it was kinda crazy reading more about the case after watching the movie because the reality was even crazier than what they showed.
I was pleasantly surprised by how much I enjoyed it. Brilliantly crafted by Alan Sorkin.. Eddy Redmayne was so good, but man, Sacha Baron Cohen was such a scene stealer!
Phoebe Waller-Bridge is phenomenal as the escapist, reckless, rebellious Fleabag who's beautifully authentic, even though she has her own ways of dealing with her issues which she represses - she's deliciously funny especially when she breaks the 4th wall and makes those expressions - that makes her character so relatable. Sian Clifford is incredible as Claire, Fleabag's sister. The dialogues are epic, the characters are wonderfully knitted in the narrative, making it raw, quirky and endearing. It's unpredictable, sad, funny and cathartic.
