Sunday afternoons have their own particular energy, unhurried, slightly nostalgic, perfect for films that take their time. Drama at its most powerful, character-driven, honest, and impossible to look away from. All from the 2000s, a decade that produced some of the most ambitious and original films in recent memory. Reality, memory, identity, these films pull the floor out from under you in the best way.
