Loved the premise. Hugh Grant is really great. But it all starts feeling a little tiring by the third act. Too much telling and explaining. I guess just like religion it got boring.

The Piano Lesson 2024
Could totally see this working as a play. Same was a Ma Rainey’s Black Bottom. Those settings are tight and the dialogue flows fast. But I didn’t connect with their story of loss and grief and hardship. Samuel L. Jackson was effortless in this.

Full disclosure: I’m a Spiritist so I buy into this story from the beginning. As a Spiritist it’s nice to see the representation of my beliefs. From a cinematic standpoint, it has flaws. The film never quite makes you a believer if you’re not one to begin with. And I think that’s its major flaw. I’m not talking about converting people to Spiritism, but if I’m a viewer, and I never heard of it, I want the story to make me strongly consider the possibilities. And it doesn’t do that. Hope this someday gets the treatment it deserves.

Click here for my ranked festival list.A wild ride. Evoked Kill Bill for me, but not as neatly developed. I wish there was a lot more Sofia fighting in it. She’s amazing. Nic is a national treasure (pun intended), and he can represent the US anytime in these East meets West movies, as far as I’m concerned.
