    The Mauritanian

    ★★★

    Average. Average. Average.

    I don’t know whose decision it was to put Jodie Foster in that red lipstick but what were you thinking? Whether she played a real person or not… is irrelevant. I couldn’t buy a word she said coming out of those crimson lips. Anyone who knows her or her work would tell you that she isn’t going to wear read lipstick, ever. 

    I had high hopes but in the end, it’s an average movie with nothing exciting…

  • French Exit

    French Exit

    ★★★

    This movie is a perfect example of a film with a lot of “Oscar buzz” that fizzles at the end. Michelle Pfeiffer’s performance was only as good as the crazy bitch socialite she is hiding behind. The laugh in the kitchen ruined it for me and I wonder if perhaps her acting somehow parallels her personal life (for the rest of the movie).  Is it acting? With all of the plastic surgery, it’s hard to tell. Why Hollywood wants actresses…

    I'm happy to see reviews from people who appreciate the quality of this film instead of the crazy ranting all over Twitter to unsubscribe from Netflix. 

    Bad marketing is on Netflix. Ruining the launching of a talented filmmaker (Maïmouna Doucouré), also on Netflix. 

    Take a minute and watch this video interview with Director Maïmouna Doucouré if you are on the child pornography train. She lived this life and wanted to call it to attention...to bring change.

    Sound of Metal

    ★★★½

    10 stars for sound editing. 10 stars for a solid movie ending.

    In silence, there is strength.
