    It's My Turn

    ★★★

    Very enjoyable if slightly unevenly paced.
    This definitely doesn't deserve to be as critically maligned as it was. I like that they didn't make Charles Grodin a villian, just a three dimensional character that wasn't the right fit. And a razzie nom for a script that doesn't have one purely expository character? V confusing.
    Right being right this shouldn't have been the end of Claudia Weil's feature film directing career.

    ★★★½

    Surprisingly sharp capitalism critique anchored by three strong central performances. Been on a bad run with the oldies lately and this one was a pleasant surprise.

    One of the best films I've seen in a while. Very excited to see what Bonello does next.

    Eric Roberts as Paul Snider has to be one of the best film performances I've ever seen.
