Movie and Theatre Reviews

Writer/director Kitty Green’s film is ‘Me Too’ timely and even though we never see the boss, I’m pretty sure that he’s modeled after Harvey Weinstein.

It’s an emotional show and most will walk away relating to one of the characters. It’s an ‘of the moment’ musical and it’s one that you shouldn’t miss.

It’s really about the performances and both Le Gros and Lyons are wonderful. And director Frangione really seems to know this world, showing its bleakness in every scene. 

The film, which screened at the San Diego Film Festival, features a fantastic cast of young actors that are sure to make their mark.

The performances, however, won’t be the only thing you’ll be talking about after the show. The physical set, which is basically just an arch, is benefited by multiple on-stage projections

Joker isn’t one of those films where you leave the theater energized. You’re beaten down and exhausted. But for a film to have that effect on you these days is quite a feat.

For anyone who watched every episode of every season of Downton Abbey, the new film will be like a warm, comfortable blanket that you pulled out of storage.

The cast is great. Jeffrey Wright as Hobie has a short monologue about restoring furniture and it’s honestly the best thing in the film.
