Left-Handed Girl to After the Hunt: the seven best films to watch on TV this week

If you're looking for something to watch this week on TV, here are seven top picks.

First up is the poignant drama "Left-Handed Girl", which tells the story of a Taiwanese single mother and her left-handed five-year-old son. The film is a heartwarming exploration of family dynamics and the struggles faced by women in a patriarchal society. With its beautiful cinematography and thoughtful storytelling, this is a must-watch for anyone looking for a feel-good drama.

Next, "After the Hunt" brings us Julia Roberts in a darkly comedic drama about academic privilege and sexual assault. The film follows Alma, a philosophy professor who finds herself at the centre of controversy when a student accuses her colleague of misconduct. With its sharp script and excellent performances from its cast, this is a thought-provoking watch that will leave you talking long after the credits roll.

If you're in the mood for something more lighthearted, "One Shot with Ed Sheeran" is a fun documentary that follows the singer-songwriter on his tour bus. Featuring plenty of behind-the-scenes footage and witty banter, this is a great choice for anyone who loves music or just wants to see what goes on behind the scenes.

For something a bit more classic, "Nights of Cabiria" is a timeless romantic drama starring the incomparable Giulietta Masina as a sex worker in 1950s Rome. With its stunning black-and-white cinematography and poignant storytelling, this is a must-watch for anyone who loves old-school cinema.

If you're looking for something a bit more recent, "The Barefoot Contessa" is a biographical drama about the life of Spanish nightclub dancer Maria Vargas, played by Ava Gardner in one of her most iconic roles. With its stylish direction and excellent performances from its cast, this is a great choice for anyone who loves classic Hollywood.

Another recent release that's worth checking out is "C'mon C'mon", a tender black-and-white drama about a young boy and his uncle as they embark on an emotional journey together. With its beautiful cinematography and thoughtful storytelling, this is a must-watch for anyone looking for a feel-good film.

Finally, if you're in the mood for something a bit more action-packed, "Inglourious Basterds" is a Quentin Tarantino classic that follows a team of Jewish American soldiers as they wreak havoc on Nazi-occupied France. With its witty script and excellent performances from its cast, this is a great choice for anyone who loves war movies or just wants to see some over-the-top action.
 
I'm tellin' ya, have you noticed how all these top picks are just a distraction from the real issues? Like, what's up with Julia Roberts playing a prof who gets accused of misconduct? Sounds like a scripted scenario to me πŸ€”β€β™‚οΈ. And "One Shot with Ed Sheeran" is probably just a way for him to sell more merchandise, right? I mean, who needs behind-the-scenes footage when you can have a fancy concert film? 🎸

And don't even get me started on "The Barefoot Contessa". Ava Gardner's life story is like something out of a Hollywood fantasy novel. But what about the reality of being a nightclub dancer in 1950s Rome? Was it all glamour and excitement, or was there more to it than meets the eye? I'm not buying it πŸ€‘.

And have you seen the cast list for "Inglourious Basterds"? It's like Quentin Tarantino just phoned it in. All those A-list actors, but is it really worth watching just because of their names? I think not πŸ™„. There's gotta be more to this film than meets the eye... maybe a secret message about the CIA or something? πŸ˜‰
 
πŸ“Ί thinkin bout these movie picks & i'm reminded that life's like watchin a film with mixed genres - sometimes u wanna feel good with a drama like "Left-Handed Girl", but other times u need somethin more thought-provokin' like "After the Hunt". it makes me think we should be open to different perspectives & not stick to just one type of storyline in life. maybe we're too scared to venture outta our comfort zones & explore new genres? πŸ€”πŸ’­
 
I just watched "Left-Handed Girl" last night and I gotta say it really got me thinking about my own experiences with dyslexia growing up 🀯. I felt so seen and understood by the main character, it was like she was speaking straight to my soul. The cinematography was stunning too - I loved how they used lighting to show the contrast between the characters' inner worlds.

As for "After the Hunt", I'm a bit surprised Julia Roberts is in this one... I mean, I love her, but isn't she usually more light-hearted than dark and edgy? Still, I'll give it a shot just because I trust the director's taste. And can we talk about how amazing Ed Sheeran looks on tour bus πŸš‚πŸŽΈ? Anyway, been meaning to catch up on some old-school cinema... "Nights of Cabiria" is next on my list, fingers crossed I'll love it as much as everyone says!
 
I'm not sure what's more striking about these movie picks - the fact that we're constantly seeking entertainment in our busy lives, or the way each film offers a unique lens through which we can examine ourselves and the world around us πŸ€”.

"Left-Handed Girl" makes me think about the complexities of identity and how societal expectations can shape our experiences. And "After the Hunt" raises questions about privilege and accountability - is it possible to truly know oneself without acknowledging the ways in which power structures affect us? πŸ’­

Meanwhile, "One Shot with Ed Sheeran" reminds us that even behind the scenes, there's beauty and connection waiting to be found. And the timeless classics like "Nights of Cabiria" and "The Barefoot Contessa" show us that some stories truly never get old πŸ’«.

But what I find really interesting is how these movies intersect with our own lives - whether it's navigating family dynamics, confronting privilege, or searching for meaning in the world around us. They're not just films - they're reflections of ourselves and our experiences πŸ“Ί.
 
I'm obsessed with "Left-Handed Girl" right now πŸ’– it's like, the most relatable thing I've seen on screen in ages - being a woman and navigating all the expectations that come with it is SO hard πŸ™…β€β™€οΈ and I love how the film just explores it in such a beautiful way. And can we talk about Julia Roberts for one second? She's always been my queen πŸ‘‘, but she really brings her A-game in this dark comedy drama - Alma is literally one of my favorite characters of all time 🀩
 
I'm loving the diversity of films this week πŸŽ₯πŸ‘. You know what's interesting? The way these films tackle social issues like sexism and privilege. "After the Hunt" is a great example, highlighting the complexities of academia and power dynamics. I mean, think about it - if we're gonna talk about feminism and equality, do we need more films that feature strong female leads or ones that challenge our assumptions? Can't we have both?

And let's not forget "Nights of Cabiria" πŸ•°οΈ, a classic film that humanizes sex workers. It's like, what's the point of telling stories about marginalized groups if we're just gonna reinforce stereotypes? I think these films are doing something different here - they're showing us complexity and depth.

But what do you think, should we be promoting more feel-good dramas or thought-provoking ones? Should our entertainment reflect the world we live in or create a bubble around ourselves? πŸ€”
 
I'm not sure about "Left-Handed Girl" being a must-watch... I need to see more info on the film before I judge it. Is there any credible sources stating its accuracy? πŸ€” And what's up with the 5-year-old having left-handedness? Are we talking about some sort of rare condition or just the kid being different? Shouldn't we be focusing on representation rather than stereotyping a child's abilities?

And Julia Roberts' new film "After the Hunt" sounds super interesting, but I'm not sure how accurate it is in portraying academic privilege and sexual assault. Have there been any reviews from experts in the field or journalists who can vouch for its accuracy? πŸ“°
 
πŸŽ₯πŸ‘ just watched "Left-Handed Girl" πŸ€£πŸ’• it's sooo good! felt all the feels πŸ€— and can't wait to watch more of these top picks πŸ“ΊπŸ‘€ πŸ’« "After the Hunt" πŸ€” is also super interesting πŸ‘ love Julia Roberts 😎 in anything. but honestly, who has time for dark comedies when you can have Ed Sheeran singing on camera 🎢😍 "One Shot with Ed Sheeran" is like a fun escape from all the drama πŸŒ΄πŸŽ‰. and omg, "Nights of Cabiria" is giving me old-school vibes πŸ‘‘πŸ’ƒ πŸ’«
 
I love how the documentaries are popping up more often πŸ“ΊπŸ’₯ "One Shot with Ed Sheeran" seems so fun and intimate - I'm sure we'll get to see behind-the-scenes of his concert tour soon 😊. But what's up with all these classic film choices? "Nights of Cabiria" is a beauty, but I was expecting something a bit more modern πŸŽ₯. Still, it's great to see older films getting some love on TV - maybe it'll inspire some newbies to explore old-school cinema πŸ‘
 
I'm loving the diverse lineup of shows this week πŸ“ΊπŸ’‘. I mean, you've got drama, comedy, music, old-school cinema, and even some classic Quentin Tarantino! It's like they're speaking to everyone's different tastes 😊.

And can't wait to see Julia Roberts bring drama to the screen again - she's such a talented actress 🎬πŸ’ͺ.
 
im loving how these dramas are tackling big topics like feminism & privilege, but i think its kinda ironic that the film about julia roberts being accused of misconduct is getting so much buzz... doesn't it feel like we're still living in a society where women have to be held to this kind of scrutiny? πŸ€”πŸ’β€β™€οΈ
 
I'm so sick of these feel-good dramas 🀯 "Left-Handed Girl" sounds like a total sap fest 🚽, a single mother and her left-handed son? Give me something with some real conflict and tension πŸ’₯. And don't even get me started on the whole "women in patriarchal society" vibe πŸ™„ - can't we just have a good old-fashioned cat fight for once? 😹
 
πŸ“Ί I think "Left-Handed Girl" sounds really relatable, you know? As someone who's been there with my own family struggles, it's always nice to see stories about people like that on TV. πŸ’• And Julia Roberts in a dark comedy is just so exciting! Have you seen her in anything else lately? πŸ€”
 
I'm loving the diversity in these picks 🀩! I mean, you've got everything from feel-good dramas like "Left-Handed Girl" that celebrates family and strength of women πŸ‘«, to dark comedies like "After the Hunt" that tackle tough issues like academic privilege and sexual assault πŸ’”. And who can resist a good ol' fashioned classic like "Nights of Cabiria"? πŸŽ₯ The cinematography on that one is stunning!

I'm also curious about how these films will spark conversations in the household πŸ“Ί. It's great to see movies that encourage reflection, empathy, and understanding being shared with loved ones. And hey, who says you can't learn something new while watching a fun doc like "One Shot with Ed Sheeran" 🎸?

But what really caught my eye is how these films are showcasing women in powerful roles πŸ’ͺ. From Alma in "After the Hunt" to Maria Vargas in "The Barefoot Contessa", it's amazing to see women taking center stage and driving the stories forward πŸ’₯. Can't wait to dive into each of these! πŸ‘
 
OMG, you guys 🀩 I'm so down for the "Left-Handed Girl" drama - it's like, totally relatable, you know? Being a single mom can be super tough, especially when society is all about patriarchy and stuff πŸ’β€β™€οΈ. And Julia Roberts in "After the Hunt"? Yaaas, she's always been an icon πŸ™Œ!

And Ava Gardner in "The Barefoot Contessa"? What a legend! πŸ’β€β™€οΈπŸ”₯
 
Omg I'm so excited for the new films coming out 🀩! But honestly it's kinda sad that we still have to deal with academic privilege and sexual assault in today's society πŸ˜”. It's not okay that Julia Roberts' character is in such a situation, can't they just handle it like normal people? πŸ’”

Anyway, I'm really looking forward to watching "Left-Handed Girl" 🌈, the story about a single mom and her left-handed son sounds so heartwarming! And Ed Sheeran's documentary looks hilarious πŸ˜‚. I've also been meaning to watch some old classics like "Nights of Cabiria", it's on my list for sure πŸ‘.

But what I really want to say is, let's just focus on spreading love and kindness wherever we go ❀️. We don't need all that drama in our lives. Can't we just be happy for each other? πŸ€—
 
Just watched "Left-Handed Girl" and I'm still thinking about that Taiwanese single mom's story πŸ€— it really made me think about how hard it can be for women in our society, especially when they're already fighting to provide for their families. The cinematography was gorgeous too - the way the light hit her son's hands as he drew was just so sweet ❀️
