    Without a doubt, the best film I’ve seen this year, perhaps this decade.  I cannot say enough about the brilliance of filming in the first person narrative.  Stellar performances by all.  I left the theater with a heavy heart, but that is okay.  It means the movie did its job.  This one will stay with me for a long time.  It shines a light on hate and racism which is still, unfortunately, relevant today.  Go see it now.

    Brilliant cinematography, dazzling performances by all especially Lily Rose Depp.  This in not your average vampire thriller but a mirror of the original film from the 1930s.  Frightening, believable, and most of all, true to its tragic ending.  A must see.

    This is a gut wrenching and tragic tale of a Jewish architect (beautifully portrayed by Adrian Brody) who fled the Nazi regime in Budapest to start over in America.  Like many immigration stories, this illustrates the hard realities of what was expected in the US and what was offered to people looking for the American dream.  

    There are many subplots within the movie and the first half of the film is completely engaging due to the cinematography, the music…

    ★★

    Okay, there is a lot of sex but not a lot of chemistry or erotica in this film.  Nicole Kidman stars as a successful professional, married woman who cannot communicate with her husband that he is bad in bed.  Consequently, she has an illicit affair with an intern who likes to boss her around in the bedroom.  Sorry, nothing about this story was believable to me.  The performances were fine but the plot fell short.  Save your time and money and skip this one.
