Thirteen Lives 2022
A heartwarming and entertaining experience from director Ron Howard. The story is based on the actual sequence of events at Tham Luang cave and is paced well, wisely focusing only a few minutes on the boys and their coach finishing practice and getting stuck in the cave.

Shoutout to Jonathan Bailey and Peter Dinklage for their charming and likable performances, but it’s the phenomenal singing of Erivo and Grande that carries Wicked. Their voices…
