Movie Reviews
Seen a lot of movies, got a lot of opinions.
Let’s get Lily Gladstone her Oscar.
"Jerry and Marge Go Large" - Film Review
Unlike other based-on-a-true-story movies, the value of Jerry and Marge Go Large is not in the oddity of its story. A loophole in the lottery (that still required hundreds of hours of work) is not as can’t-believe-it’s-true as movies like Catch Me If You Can or Hustlers. Instead, this film should have doubled down on the love and sense of community Jerry and Marge created.
"Alma's Rainbow" 4K Restoration - Film Review
That, no matter the era, humans have always had dreams, felt misunderstood by their parents, and tried their best to make sense of this indescribable world. Alma’s Rainbow is timeless.
"Mrs. Harris Goes to Paris" - Film Review
Those who throw caution to the wind and go after what they believe in, even when the world tells them it’s impossible. Mrs. Harris’ unrestrained enthusiasm for life rubs off on everyone she meets and, if they let it, that magic will rub off on the audience too.
"Thor: Love and Thunder - Film Review
The film’s final scene explains the rationale for the film’s title. Without spoiling it, this last scene shows a glimpse of a different path Love and Thunder could’ve taken. A path that would have been more fit for Waititi’s vision of an 80s romance adventure hijinks-filled movie.
"Clara Sola" - Film Review
Clara Sola shows what happens when enough finally becomes enough. A breaking point decades in the making over something that never should have been taken from Clara in the first place: her autonomy.
"Mr. Malcolm's List" - Film Review
There’s a time and a place for epics about yearning romance. Mr. Malcolm’s List has unfortunately just missed the effect it’s going for. That ineffable charm of Austen that’s often imitated and rarely achieved is essential for this type of film to truly soar.
