Indie comedies and dramas..
I recently just watched “Malcolm & Marie” and I think that’s one of the best indie movies I’ve watched in a long time. The dialog is so strong, the black&white and the filming is so artistic.. honestly Its a really beautiful love-movie, even though its not like a happy story.. It is so relatable.
