I have a few movies I wanna watch that are vaguely lefty. BUT, western movies rarely have good things to say or portray about leftist societies. A few that come to mind to watch are Goodbye Lenin, The Trotsky and Reds. Idk if these are critical of leftists or not but why not watch them and review them at a later point. I watched Red Dawn recently and man I had a lot to say about it. I guess part of what I’m saying is, is this community dying or not, bc if not I’d be willing to do weekly or biweekly movie reviews(biweekly as in, twice a week, not to be confused with the word biweekly meaning once every two weeks,English is confusing lol) if this community is dead, then I guess I’ll find out one way or another🤣 BTW: not to advertise or anything cringe but I like using the JustWatch app for keeping track of my watchlist and seeing where to watch these for free depending on which app or service has it or not, worst case scenario a friend TOTALLY DOESN’T PIRATE IT for me and I “find out a way to watch it quick”

    Sorry To Bother You is a fun one, other than that I would recommend some Soviet made films. Stalker and Stellaris by Tarkovsky are great, even if he did leave the Soviet Union later on his works still carry a non-western approach. Come and See is also really good but extremely depressing. Best war movie there is.

      As much as I usually stan Soviet cinema, I would also advise caution - especially with the late Soviet “visionaries” like Tarkovsky. At least some of them went on to publicly smear USSR and communism in general, and this position is visible even in their older works.

      To not be empty worded - Eldar Ryazanov, famous for his comedies (i.e. Irony of Fate), has also supported Yeltsin, decried KPSS as being same as NSDAP, and later in life lamented how all Russians are lazy and stupid.

      I will still support watching Soviet cinema, of course. Useful for the mind. Perhaps try Circus
