10 Amazing 2019 Films That Didn't Get A Single Oscar Nomination
2. Luce
With a blink and you'll miss it release, Luce boasts an amazing ensemble cast all working in a small community setting with an incredibly eerie lead performance from Kelvin Harrison Jr.
Based on the play by JC Lee, Luce explores race relations and the implications of a childhood in a war-torn country once settled in a simple suburban life. The film constantly raises new questions about the characters and the stories we're hearing them tell, leaving you guessing right to the very end in terms of who you should be rooting for.
Never quite knowing who to trust is such a rare and exciting experience when watching a film, and Luce pulls it off to a staggering extent.
Perhaps one of the most underrated dramas of the year, Luce is a unique take on small American communities and a star is born in Harrison Jr., making him one of the most exciting young actors to watch in years to come.
