Cyrano (4*) – A wonderful movie with a powerful performance from Dinklage – even if the music isn’t all that great.

Cruella (4*) – A delightful diversion with great chemistry between the two Emmas and an interesting story of how movies happen.
Nightmare Alley
No Comments
(4 Stars) A film noire psychological thriller that keeps your interests, darkly.
West Side Story
No Comments
(3.5 *) Technically near perfect, but lacking in the dramatic storytelling.
Dune

(5 Stars) A stunning sensory experience and quite likely the next Star Wars.
Emma.

(4 Stars) Engaging and sumptuous. A superb production from millennials.
Ma Rainey’s Black Bottom
No Comments
(3 Stars) Powerful Performances from Boseman and Davis, but it is still a play.
Mulan
No Comments
(2.5 Stars) A disappointing remake when it could and should have been much better.
Irishman
No Comments
(4.5 Stars) In addition to what you expect, it shows that old folks still have huge creative talent. Still one of the best pictures of 2019.
Little Women
No Comments
(5 Stars) A wonderful feminist approach that is perfect holiday entertainment. A well crafted movie.
Once Upon a Time in Hollywood
No Comments
(3.5 Stars) A movie Of Hollywood, By Hollywood, and, most importantly, FOR Hollywood!
Jojo Rabbit
No Comments
(3 Stars) Some good moments. But the movie doesn’t quite come together.
Joker
No Comments
(4.5 Stars) Difficult to watch, especially right now. But perhaps necessary.
Mary Poppins Returns
No Comments
(2 Stars) Might be good for families, but most adults are going to ask ‘Who asked her to return?’
Mary Queen of Scots
No Comments
(2.5 Stars) A visually beautiful period piece, but perhaps a bit more story than the director and writer could handle.
The Favourite
No Comments
(3 Stars) Although laced with fun and titillating moments throughout, the movie doesn’t deliver a totally coherent message.
The Ballad of Buster Scruggs
No Comments
(4.5 Stars) A Coen Brothers film and a collection of six stories, each of which will puzzle and amuse.
Black Panther
No Comments
(4 Stars) A visually and aurally stunning action movie with a tightly constructed plot line that you can actually follow.
