This Irish drama has a voice. Being of Irish descent, I was easily delighted to know that “The Quiet Girl” is the first Irish feature to be nominated in the Oscar’s Best […]
The Quiet Girl
Emily
Whatever their souls are made from, Emma and Emily are the same here. Emily Brontë died too young at the age of 30, but was best known for her only novel “Wuthering […]
Sharper
Good cast knows good money when they see it. There’s a scene in “Sharper,” when Sebastian Stan’s Max asks Briana Middleton’s Sandra what her favorite movie is. She responds: “Titanic,” and he […]

Alice, Darling
Anna Kendrick keeps you involved from start to finish. There’s a low key aspect to how an abusive relationship can threaten a spouse’s mental state. In “Alice, Darling,” Anna Kendrick’s Alice is […]
Missing
An entertaining follow-up to “Searching,” if not equal to. “Missing” is the spiritual sequel to the 2018 breakout hit “Searching,” which told the story of a father searching for his teenage daughter […]
