Daughters Wins 2024 Sundance Film Festival Audience Award and Festival Favorite Award

January 29, 2024 By: superuser

(****) When you start with a humanizing premise, there’s nowhere to go but up.  Documentaries that present solutions, not just observations, should be lauded and rewarded. That’s why praise has been bestowed on this heartwarming film and its mission to reunite daughters and their incarcerated dads. Bring a tissue when you see it. Maybe a […]

I.S.S.

January 19, 2024 By: superuser

(***1/2)  Blast off! This gripping sci-fi/dra/thr holds attention from the moment astronaut Dr. Kira Foster (Ariana DeBose, West Side Story) enters the International Space Station (I.S.S.).  In the near future and 254 miles above sea level, Foster is welcomed by fellow American astronauts Gordon (Chris Messina, King Richard) and Christian (John Gallagher) as she enters the I.S.S. They introduce her to Russian crew […]

The Book of Clarence

January 16, 2024 By: superuser

(**)  It is written. Making a befuddling satire is a sin and mixing pageantry with ambiguity is not the next coming. That’s why The Book of Clarence flounders.   This story of Jesus’s final days riffs off the many Hollywood interpretations that came before it. From 1927’s The King of Kings by Cecile B DeMille to 2004’s The Passion of the […]

Lift

January 16, 2024 By: superuser

(**1/2)  Any film that begins with an elaborate, broad daylight heist deserves viewers’ attention. It’s what comes between that intro and the film’s adrenalin-pumping final hour that may give Netflix audiences reasons to take a refrigerator break.  Comedian and comic actor Kevin Hart tries to ditch his funny, smart-mouth persona to play a suave international […]

Society of the Snow

January 11, 2024 By: superuser

(***)  “If I die, I give you permission to feed on my body.” Sounds like the opening line of a cheesy vampire movie. Instead, it’s the turning point in a based-on-fact drama that pits men against the elements and their only weapons are ingenuity, an unflagging will to survive and courage.  In 1972, a Uruguayan […]

Good Grief

January 11, 2024 By: superuser

(**1/2)  A tepid rom/com/dra usually breeds ambivalence. That’s the case here. There are chuckles, whimsy, flirtations and tragic twists. But in the end, though entertaining and breezy, nothing cuts as deep as it should.  Comic actor/showrunner/writer/producer/director Daniel Levy was laugh-out-loud funny on his Emmy-winning series Schitt’s Creek. As a family went from great wealth to abject poverty in […]

Renaissance: A Film By Beyoncé

December 4, 2023 By: superuser

(***)  Mother/wife, CEO and performer. Beyoncé knows who she is. Now the rest of the world will too. Just like her BeyHive, a fan club that she showers with love and devotion: “My heart is full. My soul is full.”  The Destiny’s Child lead singer has some news. She’s grown as a solo artist. From […]

Napoleon

November 17, 2023 By: superuser

(**1/2)  It’s hard to be a fearless leader and a little cuckhold at the same time. It’s enough to give a man a Napoleon complex. The first question Francophiles will ask is why are a British director of Oscar-winning epics (Ridley Scott, Gladiator) and an American character actor (Joaquin Phoenix, Joker) collaborating on a bio/war film about […]
