Portrait Of A Lady On Fire (2019)
Read more: Portrait Of A Lady On Fire (2019)Portrait Of A Lady On Fire is a visual masterpiece and story-telling at its best, mostly in silence. The acting was superb, with no great reveals, and both women slowly unfolding their thoughts and emotions.
-
Wanda (1970)
Read more: Wanda (1970)The 1970’s were, all things considered, beyond brutal. A paradise for bibliophiles, music lovers, and serial killer aficionados, yes, but for everyone else, a dumpster fire of epic proportions.

The Unsung: Lenny Jordan, Happiness (1998)
Read more: The Unsung: Lenny Jordan, Happiness (1998)Lenny (Ben Gazzara) has had enough. Faking it comes easy in a marriage, but even the strongest man has his limits. Only so many times you can hear the same tired stories, and shrug at the same lame jokes.

-
The Great Debaters (2007)
Read more: The Great Debaters (2007)Racism is wrong. Southern sheriffs like to beat up illiterate farmers to get information. Fathers who are ministers expect a lot from their children. And oh yes, education can move mountains.

From the World of John Wick: Ballerina (2025)
Read more: From the World of John Wick: Ballerina (2025)Yes, that’s the actual title of the movie. Not just Ballerina, but From the World of John Wick: Ballerina. I triple-checked it. Lionsgate Films is making sure that everyone knows Ballerina is a John Wick movie.
