SOULEYMANE'S STORY (2025): A desperate Guinean refugee in Paris tries to raise money for fake documents and memorize an elaborate cover story he thinks will get him asylum status. Ultra-realistic look at a shady underworld of refugee exploitation; it's a good trick to make you sympathize with Souleymane even though he's planning to commit fraud. 3.5/5.

BETTER WATCH OUT (2016):
This was a lousy way to spend Christmas Eve. What Madame thought would be a supernatural horror or home-invasion thriller quickly reveals itself to be a very mean-spirited (if light-R rated) torture porn, complete with fully-clothed yet still unsavory sexual assault. Worse, though, is that it's laborious, highly implausible and sometimes impossible to the point of negligence (who threw the brick through the window?!), and essentially a celebration of its irritating(-to-loathesome), wildly privileged, toxic white boy antagonist. The problem with many r@p3/revenge films is they go way too easy on the revenge. Infuriatingly, there's no revenge in this one. There is a tiny climactic twist that is satisfying though in insufficient proportion to the endurance test that had preceded it... but then, bizarrely, the male filmmakers see fit to reassure their audience that the bad guy might still get away with it! (Of course he might still get away with it... this is Trump's America we're living in, after all.)

I disliked this more than IT'S A WONDERFUL KNIFE (a similarly themed  yuletide thriller) though probably less than the dire KRAMPUS... yet at least both those Christmas horrors are actually about Christmas. BETTER WATCH OUT is perhaps only useful to cite the next time you want to argue in favor of DIE HARD being a Christmas movie. John McClane is only in the Nakatomi Plaza 'cause he's attending his ex-wife's Christmas party. Conversely, BETTER WATCH OUT could have taken place on any of the other many nights of the year when we're told the female lead is babysitting for the exact same evil brat - the set decorators just throw up some neon lawn ornaments and otherwise fuggedaboudit. In fact BETTER WATCH OUT makes less sense at Christmastime than it would've in the summer, as we're told the babysitter is graduating high school and going to college soon. This crap has a hasty Christmas-coat of paint on at best, and that's another reason to resent it. Who wants to get tricked into watching r@p3y torture porn on Christmas Eve?!

1/5    It does have Patrick Warburton and Virginia Madsen for about 5 minutes and I like them.
