Yes Day (2021) – Movie Review

A family romp with charm and fun to spare, Yes Day is very child-friendly without being dumb about it.

Minari (2021) – Movie Review

A tale of a family trying to find a home; a great film made of many small moments of love and heartbreak.

A string of cliched action scenes, devoid of any substance, that depends on characters making the very worst possible choices at any time.

A biting satire thriller that unleashes Rosamund Pike at her most sociopathic.

It is not quite the archetypical western, but one that uses the trappings of the genre to tell a story of found families.

Overwritten monologues and conflicts that ring hollow sink a movie that tried to be a sentimental one-act play.

A martial arts Bollywood romance action musical travel comedy extravaganza: there’s something here for everyone, and all of it in excess.

A surprisingly effective emotional backbone elevates The Dig above the academic retelling of its real-life story.

A very straight-up theater adaptation, but with top-notch directing, writing and acting.

The first half suggested a better paced and more interesting film, but the rest weighs it down too much. Wonderful title, though.
