Raymond & Ray (2022) ☆☆(2/4): As they bury their father
“Raymond & Ray”, which was released on Apple TV+ in last month, merely trudges along its very familiar plot with its two ever-reliable lead performers who deserve better than this disappointing mush. While there are some good moments whenever they … Continue reading
