Supporting Actress


West Side Story
(3.5 *) Technically near perfect, but lacking in the dramatic storytelling.

King Richard
(3 *) A fun movie until you understand that it isn’t completely truthful.

The Power of the Dog
(4.5 Stars) Quite likely the Best Picture of the Year. Let me explain why.

Hillbilly Elegy
(2 Stars) A lot of missed opportunity and we end up being tourists!

Borat Subsequent Moviefilm
(1 Star). You’ve been warned – watch only if you really like this kind of thing.




Little Women
(5 Stars) A wonderful feminist approach that is perfect holiday entertainment. A well crafted movie.

Marriage Story
(4.5 Stars) A sometimes difficult movie to watch, but with powerful moments. The boundaries between love and hate are thin.


Jojo Rabbit
(3 Stars) Some good moments. But the movie doesn’t quite come together.

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

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

The Favourite
(3 Stars) Although laced with fun and titillating moments throughout, the movie doesn’t deliver a totally coherent message.

If Beale Street Could Talk
(4.5 Stars) A wonderful romance with terrific music. Another one of the better movies this year.

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