Films I loved in February 2020

For Sama is an extraordinary documentary, consisting of footage taken by filmmaker Waad Al-Kateab while raising her infant daughter in Aleppo during the appalling violence and chaos of the Syrian Civil War. It delivers a unique perspective that is confronting, but also profoundly humane.

Willem Dafoe as Thomas Wake and Robert Pattinson as Ephraim Winslow in *The Lighthouse*

Hallucinogenic, claustrophobic and often surprisingly funny, The Lighthouse is a beautifully textured odd-couple film that mutates into psychological horror as two lighthouse keepers in the 1890s lose their minds; questioning what and who is or isn’t real. It’s intense and a lot of fun.

Daisy Axon as Candice Phee and Wesley Patten as Douglas Benson in *H Is for Happiness*

The warm and charming Australian coming-of-age film H Is for Happiness deftly balances humour and its protagonist’s hyper-cheery outlook on the world with much darker themes connected to loss and grief. It’s sweet, stylised and off-kilter while remaining grounded and sincere.

Anya Taylor-Joy as Emma Woodhouse and Johnny Flynn as George Knightley in *Emma*

The new adaptation of Jane Austen’s Emma is both faithful to the book and refreshingly cinematic, using suitable visual flourishes to enhance the novel’s biting social critique and intriguing characters. It’s funny and romantic for the most part, but with key moments of poignancy.
Released in Australian cinemas 13 February 2020

Sam Rockwell as Watson Bryant and Paul Walter Hauser as Richard Jewell in *Richard Jewell*

In Richard Jewell Clint Eastwood further explores the plight of everyday people thrust into the spotlight, in the story of the security guard who discovered the bomb at the 1996 Olympics to then become the main suspect. It’s compelling drama about the dangers of confirmation bias.

Noah Jupe as Otis Lort and Shia LaBeouf as James Lort in *Honey Boy*

Based on childhood experiences with his abusive and negligent father, Honey Boy co-stars and is written by Shia LaBeouf. Director Alma Har’el delivers a beautifully dreamlike vision of the harrowing story, to convey the relationship between damaged adults and their traumatic pasts.
Released in Australian cinemas 27 February 2020

Elisabeth Moss as Cecilia Kass in *The Invisible Man*

The new film incarnation of The Invisible Man takes the perspective of the woman being harassed and the science-fiction concept expresses all-too real acts of violence. The results work as a tense and chilling horror film, and as a commentary on the nature of psychological abuse

Common Causes of Wi-Fi Connectivity Problems

Imagine settling in for the night to watch a few episodes of your favorite binge-worthy TV show when suddenly, your streaming service stops loading, and all you can do is watch the Wi-Fi go in and out, hoping the endless buffering stops soon. You might be gritting your teeth just thinking about it — you and 7 billion other people. The demand for Wi-Fi is now global. In a study, 75% of people reported that they’d be grumpier during a week without Wi-Fi than they would during a week without coffee. In fact, 60% of the same group said they couldn’t go without Wi-Fi for even one day! When the Wi-Fi is down, our internet-dependent world quickly comes to a halt. Our emails stop loading, our virtual assistants stop responding, our tablets and laptops become useless, and our phones dip into our precious data supply. Approximately 71% of all our mobile communication occurs over wireless internet, according to Wi-Fi Alliance, and surveys say we like it that way. Wi-Fi is now the preferred me...
