In Laman's Terms: Six 2019 Movies You Need To Catch Up On

In Laman's Terms is a weekly editorial column where Douglas Laman rambles on about certain topics or ideas that have been on his mind lately. Sometimes he's got serious subjects to discuss, other times he's just got some silly stuff to shoot the breeze about. Either way, you know he's gonna talk about something In Laman's Terms!

If you're like me, then there's plenty of 2019 cinema you need to catch up on. Me personally, I'm still trying to watch High Life and Fast Color as well as a whole trove of new foreign-language films that never came remotely near me during their theatrical release. As for your own 2019 cinema catch-up voyage, I thought I could try and help be helpful by compiling six 2019 titles that I feel deserve far more love and attention than they've gotten. I've made sure to list with each title where you can rent or purchase them as well as if they're streaming for free on any of the many streaming services out there.

Let's start this look at 2019 films you need to catch up on with a movie that hits a high note and then some!

Brie Larson's Directorial Debut Unicorn Store Is A Totally Unique Delight

Unicorn Store is all about Kit (Brie Larson), a young artist who is struggling with the whole conventional grown-up routine. Her relationship with her parents, Gladys (Joan Cusack) and Gene (Bradley Whitford), is a bit strained, her art is constantly looked down upon and she feels like she's not living up to what her peers have accomplished. Seeking to correct this, she receives a job making copies of old magazines at a standard advertising agency. It's the kind of normal grown-up job she's typically avoided, but Kit has decided now is the time to put away childish things. At least, that's what she thinks until she gets told by The Salesman (Samuel L. Jackson) that she has the chance to own her very own unicorn.
