Movie: Everybody Knows

In Spanish with subtitles.

Penelope Cruz and Javier Bardem in top form.

The story got more and more intriguing as the film went on.

Movie: Love After Love

Always nice to see Andie MacDowell.
I think she's greatly underrated as an actress.

The cast is uniformly good.

It was a good story.  I often would like to have slapped both her sons.

TV: Luther, Season 5

Engrossing, watchable, but in the end unsatisfying.

Movie: Every Day

I wasn't impressed at the beginning but the story grew on me as it went along.
It did have "themes" and "messages" but they weren't jammed down your throat.

I do question the morality/ethics of occupying another person's body and then using it for sex.

Movie: Holmes & Watson

OK.  I'm not a Will Ferrell fan.  At all.
I do like John C. Reilly

I didn't expect to like this film but I did.  There was some slapstick stuff (which I don't generally like) but it was basically under control.

Movie: Jonathan

One of the saddest stories I've ever seen on film.


(With Patricia Clarkson who is always excellent.)

Movie: Can You Ever Forgive Me?

*****


Pretty much perfect.
