A Perfect Day (2015) ☆☆☆(3/4): The trouble with a well

Joan Didion: The Center Will Not Hold (2017) ☆☆☆1/2 (3.5/4): Meet Joan Didion

Marjorie Prime (2017) ☆☆☆(3/4): An somber, intelligent SF chamber drama
“Marjorie Prime” is a somber, intelligent SF chamber drama which turns out to be more intriguing and thoughtful than I expected. While it shows its theatrical origin at times, the movie is an engaging intellectual experience nonetheless, and it is … Continue reading
The Meyerowitz Stories (New and Selected) (2017) ☆☆☆(3/4): Life with their father
“The Meyerowtiz Stories (New and Selected)” is as amusing as its whimsical title suggests. As dryly depicting the rocky relationship dynamics among the members of one dysfunctional family, the movie entertains us with small humorous moments generated among them, and … Continue reading
