haven't seen it yet, but it looks special mixing the stop-motion with live action

Marvellous - based on the life of Neil Baldwin, a chap with mild learning disabilities who leads an extraordinary life! Toby Jones is brilliant as the lead.

The most heartwarming and touching film I’ve seen in ages.

Two lesser known movies that I really enjoyed:

Wristcutters: A Love Story, a black romantic comedy that starts with the main character comitting suicide and waking up in a sort of purgatory (like the real world, that he just tried to escape, except slightly shittier).

Beginners: a melancholy romantic comedy about a guy (Ewan McGregor) who lost his mother, and subsequently his dad (Christopher Plummer) - who came out as gay after the death of the mother - is diagnosed with cancer. Tbh, his relationship with Melanie Laurent isn't really that central, so it isn't that much of a romantic comedy, I guess :)

"When a large Iranian-American family gathers, a family secret is uncovered that catapults the estranged mother and daughter into an exploration of the past, and to discover they are more alike than they know." Touching comedy drama that takes place in the US (75%, English) and Iran (subtitles) with happy ending. Refreshing and fun to watch. Netflix

One Life. Great drama about a man who (together with others) saved the lives of many children.

Edit: we saw it yesterday and it has several goose bump and teared eyes moments. Something allmost all block buster movies miss.
