Some people step up and some step down in this delightful conclusion. It’s amazing that “Downton Abbey” has ended in 2015, but has continued its characters in three movies. From my reminders, […]
Downton Abbey: The Grand Finale
Sunfish (& Other Stories on Green Lake)
Summer’s over, but this anthology is still warm. Last year, Yorgos Lanthimos made the anthology film “Kinds of Kindness,” which had big names like Emma Stone and Willem Dafoe. This year, Joanna […]
