Diary of a Chambermaid is a very good movie that I would recommend anyone interested in class conscious films. This release looks and sounds great.

While the story itself didn't shock me (much), the lackadaisical and matter of fact way the events play out gave it a certain ripped-from-the-headlines / Lifetime movie feeling.

Jackie Brown is exciting, profane and violent–all the things you could hope for in a Quentin Tarantino film.

If you enjoy the kind of Dutch-angle, stylization-heavy shots of a director like Sam Raimi, they're present here, as is Meyer's tendency towards bright colors with dramatic lighting, and an appreciation for the beauty of nature.

The restoration itself is absolutely gorgeous! I could NOT believe how good it looked.
