    ★★★★

    Western Tarantino-style, which means you need a black a sense of humour to enjoy it. Luckily, I do. The cast look like they're having a great time playing out this wildly violent story mostly in a claustrophobic setting and Tarantino certainly knows how to play an audience. Recommended, but you've been warned.

    ★★★★

    In depth documentary with interviews by notable performers and directors about this charismatic star's career. Well-made with insightful comments, making this a worthwhile portrait of a charismatic performer on stage and screen.

    Superb, exhaustive documentary on the legendary film composer. Not just a bunch of famous people paying homage, this really gets deeply into the man and his music. Highly recommended.

    ★★★½

    This true story is mostly well-done but the decision to weave bits of the play it was based on into the action comes across as stilted and pretentious and reduces the power of the story. The father seems to be too easily able to change a lifetime of homophobia, making it idealistic rather than realistic. Its heart is in the right place, though. Good performance by Oscar Martinez as the father. Other performances are uneven.
