Well, it’s time to return to normal life – you can have too much of a good thing, and any more of this I’d be horrored out. But for folks wanting a very quick summary, which doesn’t involve reading five days of features plus the reviews beforehand, here it goes. As per usual, festival goggles apply. Also, keep in mind that I only attended the digital version so didn’t see a lot of the big hitters from the week before: apparently, The Sadness is something else. These lists used to be called best to worst, but a couple of years ago I changed it to ranked as the standard was that high. That’s still the case this time around – the first 5 are all 5-star films, and then the next 5 are all 4-star or 4.5. And then it’s all the way down to number 20 before you find a film I didn’t like. As such, though something like As In Heaven, So On Earth is low, it’s still a recommendation of sorts.
