A "Hey I just watched a movie" thread

One of the other forums I go to has one of these threads and I've been turned on to some good movies that other regulars just watched. I was kind of surprised not to see a similar thread here (at least not that I could find.) 
I just rewatched "Kinamand" - a cute drama about a Danish plumber who gets involved in an arranged marriage with a Chinese illegal. Good stuff (Netflix instant.)
So what have you folks watched recently?

The Paradise (PBS mini-series) - At first it was like gah, another Austin-esque period drama about finding a good husband. No. If you like Downton Abbey this is decent. A man with a dark secret operates a department store in the 1800's.

The Colony -Well this was depressing. Not having seen the trailer I thought maybe they would find paradise and/or their would be stunning graphics. Sadly no.
So depressing. SOOOOO depressing. Divorce and remarriage and step-parenting issues and dysfunctional parenting from a kid's eyes. The writers thankfully gave some reprieve but the sad thing is, there are parents that do treat their children like this and it makes me sick!
But a great movie. I really did like it a lot. And maybe it was so depressing because I understand what it's like to be a step-parent... but I really did like the movie.

Damn. Graphic. Gripping. Great movie.

Another really really good movie. The scene in the medical bay at the end was so well done. Something you normally don't see.
Highly recommend both.
Both should win awards.
Short Term 12 (9/10) - Love this as well. A very heartwarming film. Brie Larson was amazing here, so impressed with her performance; she totally carried this film.
