Licorice Pizza

(3.5 *) Alana Haim is a real gem, but the movie is a Hollywood-inside-joke.

Marriage Story

(3.5 Stars) Liberals will find humor and lots to support disliking Cheney. Conservatives, well, maybe you should avoid this one.
Green Book
No Comments
(4.5 Stars) Best Picture Winner and a compelling tale of two men, unlikely partners in a road-trip through the Deep South. One of the better movies of the year.

Roma

(5 Stars) Probably the best movie of the year and a great example of excellence in all dimensions. A must-see film.
