I’m Thinking of Ending It Here (2020)

The first to focus on Buckley as the protagonist of his family horror is none other than the Oscar winner Charlie Kaufman, back behind the camera to direct one of the most disturbing feature films of recent times. Together with a prodigious Buckley there are the always very effective Jesse Plemons and two foster characters such as Toni Collette And David Thewlis. I’m thinking of ending it here It really puts the viewer to the test, it makes him uncomfortable and insinuates many more doubts than certainties under his skin. Arthouse cinema is difficult but absolutely fascinating. To love or hate. Or both…Available on Netflix.

The Dark Daughter (2021)

The Oscar nomination for best supporting actress arrives for an intense Buckley who plays the flashbacks of the protagonist character who has the face of Olivia Colman. Maggie Gyllenhaal brings Elena Ferrante’s novel to the big screen with exemplary narrative and aesthetic clarity, letting the faces and bodies of the characters and actors do the talking, building the atmospheres and tones of the psychological drama. The dark daughter it becomes a study of characters and faces with considerable emotional impact, which offers burning questions without pre-packaged answers. Truly a successful film.

Women Talking – The right to choose (2022)

In the midst of an amazing cast that includes Rooney Mara, Claire Foy, Frances McDormand, Ben Whishaw and other actors in great form, Buckley is the most effective thanks to a painful, at times even angry, character. She is the unsleeping heart of Women Talking – The right to chooseadapted (by Oscar) and directed by Sarah Polley which makes it a manifesto film, perhaps even a little too much. However, it remains an enormous exercise in acting skill, for a group of artists who know perfectly how to give precious nuances to their respective roles. Worth seeing without a doubt. Available on Apple iTunes, Amazon Prime Video.

Men (2022)

Amazing protagonist together with Rory Kinnear of this psychological horror that Alex Garland comes to contain moments of profound and pure terror. Also because the metaphor never suffocates story and atmosphere thanks above all to the spot-on staging and to two actors who know how to work on the unsaid with caution and subtlety. Men it unnerves, terrifies, shocks and fascinates like few other horror films seen in recent years. Product with crystalline style and almost devastating proactive force. Hands down one of the best films of 2022, a profoundly important year for the genre. To be enjoyed with your heart pounding and your eyes wide open. Even if in some scenes it’s really hard to keep them…Available on Rakuten TV, Apple Itunes, Netflix, Amazon Prime Video.

Fingernails – A Diagnosis of Love (2023)

A love triangle where the feeling is expressed through looks, unspoken words, phrases only hinted at or whispered. Fingernails – A diagnosis love it immediately becomes a feature film that has its own gentle and profound physiognomy. Together with Buckley they are also precious protagonists Riz Ahmed And Jeremy Allen White, to close a truly effective trio. The strength of feelings told in the tones of existential melodrama. When science fiction knows how to expose the present better than reality itself. Film of rare delicacy. Available on Apple iTunes.
