If you recall, after each movie in the Philadelphia Film Festival, you were asked to rate the film on a ballot. Well, the numbers are in and we’ve determined some of the standout, award-worthy films of PFF21!
This year’s Philadelphia Film Festival has come and gone, and after a few days to rest/deal with a natural disaster, we’re all back at work here at the Film Society. And though festival season has passed, the great films that we all got to see won’t soon leave our minds.
Over the course of the eleven-day festival, I saw a total of 25 films. In an effort to relive the awesome movies that I got to see at this year’s festival, I’d like to share with you my top 5 favorite films of the festival.
Here are a few more reviews from the past few days of the festival:
Quartet
This movie was an excellent first directorial effort by the great Dustin Hoffman. Though there was one questionable decision, I still loved watching this movie because of the interesting characters played by a great cast, which includes the likes of the great Maggie Smith, Michael Gambon, Tom Courtney, Pauline Collins, and Billy Connolly, plus some real retired musicians and singers.
