Divorcing is such sweet sorrow for Bening and Nighy. I’ve seen another artisan film called “The Truth,” which barely talks about its characters’ problems, and left me uninterested. It never seemed to […]
Hope Gap
I Still Believe
This Christian drama has heart, but not enough faith. I don’t attend much Christian dramas, because of they lately present themselves with their bad acting, negative writing, and silly filmmaking. I believe […]
Ordinary Love
Liam Neeson and Lesley Manville both win us over. At the “Ordinary Love” screening I attended, Liam Neeson jokingly mentioned how he was promised to punch a villain in the face, given […]
