Well-educated, intelligent, loving, occasionally brilliant, and frequently hilarious.

Its optimism is so refreshing, its dialogue so smart, and its characters and performances so endearing, it well rewards a watch.

BIRDMAN OF ALCATRAZ
Lancaster gave a touching, heartwarming performance as Bob Stroud, a convict at Leavenworth and Alcatraz who was never granted a parole or pardon despite being a renowned expert on birds and their diseases. Truly enjoyable throughout!

My ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️1/2 review of JUDAS AND THE BLACK MESSIAH boxd.it/c2hiLH
Disturbing & shameful chapter of history. Matter-of-fact, understated, powerful performances. As an American, pissed me off!
Especially relevant now as governmental agencies are increasingly weaponized against citizens.

An account of a couple's relationship fueled, motivated and ruined by alcoholism. Lemmon and Remick efficiently conveyed the emotions brought about by alcohol addiction with their splendid acting, and Mancini's theme song is a total blast!
