Argentina 1985 – Truth, Humor, and the Wicked (3.5*)
No Comments
Argentina 1985 is a docudrama telling the story of the world’s first civilian trial of a military dictatorship. It is a courtroom drama lightened with humor and stories of families. A good film, but maybe a bit difficult to absorb. (3.5*)
Babylon – A Rare Failure from a Fine Filmmaker (2*)
No Comments
Babylon has some great moments, but is ultimately an overstuffed mess.
Blonde – Long Sexy with Hidden Truths (3.5*)
No Comments
Blonde is not a biography of Marilyn Monroe, although she is the central character. This is, instead, an unusually forceful exploration of how difficult it is for women to fuse their public and private personas. It is also an indictment of Hollywood, and of men generally. (3.5*)
