TIME TO DIE
7.5/10

A Polish film about an old woman, living alone in her house of many years. Her son's grown up and doesn't pay attention to her, and her days are spent monitoring the neighbours and talking to her best friend, Phila, her dog. It's filmed in black and white and beautifully done. The pace is quite slow, enough that I started to drift off. But if you're happy to sit and watch as the film goes by, may be worth looking at.

CARAMEL
7/10
A comedy/romance set in Beirut, at a hair salon. It's watchable, and probably would appeal to women more than men as it tracks the various relationships of the women hair stylists as well as a couple of others nearby. Favourite scenes were the ones involving the old mother of the seamstress across the road.
