The 7 most underestimated films in recent years that hardly anyone knows

Every year Pi times thumbs are published 6,500 films worldwide. Even if you want to see them all (and who wants that?!), You would have to watch more than 17 films a day - an absolute thing of the impossibility. So it is logical that a few really great films are always unnoticed, even though they deserved more attention. We therefore remind youA few great films in recent years that deserve more attention.

You should therefore not always be justified with the few large films from Hollywood, of which you only take note due to a large marketing budget. There are so many small film pearls that still need to be discovered.

One of these films that ran completely under the radar isFreaky,A great mix ofAnd comedy. One of the main reason that hardly anyone took note of it was the unfortunate time of publication: Because becauseFreakycame out after the Corona pandemic when you were officially back to the cinema, but many people were still spared-and that is really a shame for the film and those responsible, because it is worth it! And that's what it's about: Vince Vaight plays the legendary one in itBlissfield Butcher. And when he is about to murder his new victim, an ancient curse is triggered that ensures that he exchanges his body with his victim, so that the serial killer suddenly puts in the body of the 17-year-old student Millie Kessler (Kathryn Newton). The poor Millie now only has 24 hours to reverse the exchange before it is in the body killer body forever. It's just stupid that the Blissfield Butcher is completely satisfied with its new appearance because of course it can murder much better in millies. A really funny, but also properly going to the matter, which was completely wrong when it appears. Get that!Available on Sky, Apple TV+ and Prime Video (subject to a fee).

Films withare such a thing. Some of them are incredibly good asLeaving Las Vegas,AdaptionorWild at Heart, others are incredibly bad likeWicker Man,Ghost RiderorThe last temple cruits.

We all know that Bob Odenkirk is a fantastic actor and a real “character” at the latest sinceBreaking BadandBetter Call Saul. And the 62-year-old also has this skill in the completely underestimated Nobodybrought in from 2021. Odenkirk himself plays the title -giving Nobody. So he also sees himself completely unable to defend himself and defend his family as two burglars on the house. The result: Even his son Brady (Gage Munroe) and his wife Becca (Connie Nielsen) lose all respect for him. What both do not know: This incident triggered something at Hutch, which was hidden for a long time, because: Hutch was oncethe, before he retired from business and built up a life as a Nobody. But now he ensures that something can never happen to him and his family, and this project is paved with corpses. And precisely because you can hardly imagine Bob Odenkirk as a former contract killer, the whole thing works so well; An actioner who is so terrific that you want nothing more than an early sequel.Available on Sky, Apple TV+ and Prime Video (subject to a fee).

The English director Edgar Wright has made some fantastic films since the turn of the millennium, includingShaun of the Dead,Hot Fuzz,Scott Pilgrim against the rest of the worldandBaby Driver. His time travel thriller should also be mentionedLast Night in Soho, but it incomprehensibly received little attention when it appears at the end of 2021-that was also due to the unfortunate date of publication in the middle of the Corona pandemic. Reason enough to remember the greatness of this film again at this point, and that's what it's about: The young Eloise (Thomasin McKenzie) moves to London to study fashion design there. She has always made her own clothes and dreams back to London in the new city in the new city. However, the swinging sixties are by no means as beautiful and free as you suspect - on the contrary! WithLast Night in SohoNot only does Edgar Wright shine more in terms of style and coolness, but has also devised a really devastating a thriller that is really the #Metoo debate and the discussions about sexualized violence in the sixties of the sixties. Grandios!Available on Sky, Apple TV+ and Prime Video (subject to a fee).

The one who came out in December 2020 was also completely under the radar Wolfwalkers, which you can watch on Apple TV+. At the center of this great film is the young hunter Robyn Goodfellowe, who travels to Ireland with her father Bill to eradicate the last wolf pack. Arrived in Ireland, Robyn becomes friends with Mebh, who belongs to a mysterious tribe, the members of which are said to have the ability to turn into wolves at night.

AtYou usually always wrinkle your nose, most of them are worse than the musicals themselves. There is a pleasant exceptionIn the Heightsthe adaptation of Lin-Manuel Miranda's success musical about the events in a Hispanian community on three hot summer days in. Here, too, it is a suspicion that the lack of success had to do with the unfortunately bad timing due to Corona. Because the musical has the songs, the actors and the topic (different cultures, persecution of the American dream beforethe United States has transformed into a fast autocracy) that should have made the film a hit. But what is not can still be, after all there isIn the Heightson all common streaming platforms.Available on Sky, Apple TV+ and Prime Video (subject to a fee).

Before you think about the really grand dramaPieces of a WomanA warning is pronounced: If you have children, think carefully about whether you expect it, because it is about a couple whose child dies at birth - and this is really difficult to endure, especially for parents. Said parents are Martha (Vanessa Kirby) and Sean (Shia Labeouf), who have a happy marriage and expect their first child as the crowning glory - but that dies at birth. You can hardly imagine the pain this circumstance causes the two, and in particular the Famos-Authentic representation of Vanessa Kirby almost breaks your heart while watching. Logical that this tragic mourning also affects the relationship of the once so happy couple that does not really manage to cope with and process the child's death. And that is presented so precisely psychologically and staged by director Kornél Mundruczó that the film is really still watching for days. Hard tobak, but really terrific in his intolerability!Available on Netflix.
