(2*) House of Gucci is an overly long mess that fails to establish a consistent tone.

Coming 2 America (1.5*) – Even if you liked the original, this sequel was unnecessary.
Cruella

Cruella (4*) – A delightful diversion with great chemistry between the two Emmas and an interesting story of how movies happen.
The Eyes of Tammy Faye

(3.5 Stars) Great acting from Chastain, and overwhelming makeup, but kind of a mess of a movie.
Dune

Hillbilly Elegy

(2 Stars) A lot of missed opportunity and we end up being tourists!
Ma Rainey’s Black Bottom

(3 Stars) Powerful Performances from Boseman and Davis, but it is still a play.
Judy

(3.5 Stars) An exceptional performance by Zellweger in an otherwise mediocre movie.
Maleficent: Princess of Evil
1 Comment
(1.5 Stars) Some fun visual moments do not make up for a plodding story. Pfeiffer occasionally shines, but Jolie’s talent is wasted.
Bombshell

(3.5 Stars). A pleasant diversion with exceptional actresses, but a less than stellar writer and director.
Joker

(4.5 Stars) Difficult to watch, especially right now. But perhaps necessary.
Border

(4 Stars) Perhaps the strangest film on this year’s list, it certainly keeps your attention.
Vice

(3.5 Stars) Liberals will find humor and lots to support disliking Cheney. Conservatives, well, maybe you should avoid this one.
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.
