Film Releases This Week – 15-01-20
This week, there’s a few good ones, with Bombshell, A Hidden Life and Just Mercy, among others. That’s probably the last of the Oscar films other than Parasite which isn’t released until next month. One of the smaller releases, Waves, is possibly the best of the lot.
