Sorry To Bother You

Sorry to Bother You; Social commentary by way of creepy comedy that busts conventions in shocking ways. It’s a capitalist critique for our times with some cutting barbs while being equally entertaining on account of a great cast; A-

Yesterday

Yesterday; Fun premise explores some of the potential fallout of a world w/o Beatles, yet wants to remain a rom com at its core. This both grounds the film but also grounds it to a halt at times. Still, actors/director fulfill their roles wonderfully in service to the story; B

Mamma Mia: Here We Go Again

Mamma Mia! Here We Go Again; Gorgeously shot sequel outshines the original. New cast embodies their elder counterparts well, without becoming imitations. Script cleverly reworks songs while bringing strong emotional tones from the new voices that elevate the hits; A

Baby Driver

Baby Driver; Original high octane heist based love story uses its cast to great effect. Action is kinetic, romance sweet & unpredictable; B+

Cinderella

Cinderella; So earnest & extravagant, the fairy tale's whimsy is lost on me. Rather see $$ spent on making real girls' dreams come true; B-
