Romance Movies from the 2022 Oscar List – a summary review.
Romance
Cyrano
No Comments
Cyrano (4*) – A wonderful movie with a powerful performance from Dinklage – even if the music isn’t all that great.
The Worst Person in the World
No Comments
(4*) The Worst Person in the World is a beautiful film with a fantastic Renate Reinsve, but maybe appeals most to a certain audience.
The Eyes of Tammy Faye
No Comments
(3.5 Stars) Great acting from Chastain, and overwhelming makeup, but kind of a mess of a movie.
West Side Story
No Comments
(3.5 *) Technically near perfect, but lacking in the dramatic storytelling.
Licorice Pizza
No Comments
(3.5 *) Alana Haim is a real gem, but the movie is a Hollywood-inside-joke.
The Power of the Dog
No Comments
(4.5 Stars) Quite likely the Best Picture of the Year. Let me explain why.
Emma.
No Comments
(4 Stars) Engaging and sumptuous. A superb production from millennials.
Better Days
No Comments
(3.5 Stars) An interesting film with some very good dramatic elements. But seems to have some heavy-handed government overlays.

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

(3.5 Stars) An exceptional performance by Zellweger in an otherwise mediocre movie.
I Lost My Body

(4 Stars) A surprising mental challenge exploring destiny and free will, but definitely not a family movie
Border

2/5 Oscar Nominations: Foreign Language Film (Poland)Director (Pawel Pawlikowski)Cinematography (Lukas Zal) Maybe one shouldn’t screen this movie after watching the German film “Never Look
Never Look Away
No Comments
(4.5 Stars) A German drama tracing the life of an East-German artist who struggles to find his true art form, and the meaning of his life. Professional critics didn’t like this as well.
If Beale Street Could Talk
No Comments
(4.5 Stars) A wonderful romance with terrific music. Another one of the better movies this year.
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.
A Star Is Born
No Comments
(3.5 Stars) In yet another remake, Lady Gaga shows she can act better than Bradley Cooper can sing. Its OK if you’re into sappy romances.
