Hillbilly Elegy《乡下人的悲歌》
豆瓣评分：7.4
JD Vance’s fraught account of his poverty-stricken Appalachian upbringing in Ohio was a New York Times bestseller in 2016, when it was viewed by some commentators as a window into the soul of US white working-class. The film of Hillbilly Elegyis directed by Ron Howard (Apollo 13,A Beautiful Mind) and written by Vanessa Taylor (The Shape of Water). Both writer and director have worked on Oscar-winning hits, but awards-watchers have their eyes on its two female stars: Amy Adams plays Vance’s unstable, drug-addicted mother, and Glenn Close is the tough grandmother who raised him. “Between them,” notes Yohana Desta in Vanity Fair, “the pair have 13 total Oscar nominations but zero wins – makingHillbillyone of the more intriguing titles on this year’s awards circuit. Will one of them finally break their Oscar spell next year and land an acting statuette? Will both of them win? It’s possible!”
J.D.万斯于2016年登顶《纽约时报》排行榜的畅销书《乡下人的悲歌》讲述了自己在俄亥俄州阿巴拉契亚山脉穷苦和忧患重重的成长经历，该书被一些评论家视为窥探美国劳动阶级白人灵魂的窗口。改编自该书的同名电影由朗·霍华德（《阿波罗13号》和《美丽心灵》导演）执导，瓦内莎·泰勒（《水形物语》编剧）担任编剧。导演和编剧的作品都曾获得过奥斯卡奖，但是片中的两位女星则被视为奥斯卡奖的有力角逐者。艾米·亚当斯饰演万斯的喜怒无常的“瘾君子”母亲，而格伦·克洛斯饰演将他养大的顽强祖母。《名利场》杂志的尤汉娜·德斯塔指出：“这两人一共获得了13次奥斯卡奖提名，但从未获得过奥斯卡奖杯，这使得《乡下人的悲歌》成为今年有望角逐奥斯卡奖的电影之一。明年她俩当中是否有一人能够打破奥斯卡魔咒，获得一座最佳表演奖小金人呢？或者两个人都获奖？这也是有可能的！”

Emma《爱玛》
豆瓣评分：7.2
Did the world need one more Jane Austen adaptation? Not really, but this enchanting, colourful version is a very welcome addition. As Emma, Anya Taylor-Joy captures the heart and warmth beneath Austen’s bossy, match-making heroine. Johnny Flynn is irresistible as her improbable love, Mr Knightley. And Bill Nighy gloriously steals every scene as Emma’s comically overprotective father.
这个世界还需要再多一部简·奥斯汀著作的改编作品吗？其实不需要，但是这部引人入胜、生动有趣的电影却是锦上添花。安雅·泰勒-乔伊饰演的爱玛捕捉住了奥斯汀笔下的这位喜欢发号施令和做媒的女主角温暖的心。魅力十足的约翰尼·弗林饰演最终和爱玛相爱的奈特利先生（这是爱玛没有预料到的）。比尔·奈伊饰演的喜剧感十足、过分溺爱的父亲也极为抢戏。

Ammonite《菊石》
豆瓣评分：7.1
Kate Winslet plays Mary Anning, the Victorian fossil hunter whose discoveries on the Dorset coast made her a heroine to palaeontologists, but who was never quite accepted by male scientists in her lifetime. Saoirse Ronan plays Charlotte Murchison, an aspiring geologist who visits Anning’s home in Lyme Regis. BBC Culture’s Caryn James says that Francis Lee’s “exquisite” period romance is “visually stunning, emotionally enduring [and] brutally honest”.
凯特·温斯莱特饰演维多利亚时代的化石猎人玛丽·安宁，她在多赛特郡海岸的发现使她成为古生物学家心目中的女英雄，但是她始终不能被同时代的男性科学家完全接纳。西尔莎·罗南饰演胸怀大志的地质学家夏洛特·默奇森，她拜访了安宁在来木镇的家。BBC文化频道的卡琳·詹姆斯表示，弗朗西斯·李的这部“优美的”年代爱情电影“具有视觉冲击力、情感持久力，而且极其坦诚”。
