SYNOPSIS:
There’s a dirtied, muddied elegance to Greta Gerwig’s fantastically bold and personal debut
Lady Bird, a coming-of-age story to the tune of Justin Timberlake’s “Cry Me a River.” The character all appear real, the camera is unimposing, as if the audience are snooping upon arguments between mother and daughter, and the frenzied, frankly hysterical first sexual experience. Gerwig has managed to weave a tale at once incredibly personal, at once entirely universal in one broad stroke.
Ant-Man and The Wasp: Quantumania star Evangeline Lilly has praised the Marvel Cinematic Universe's new Cassie Lang, Kathryn Newton, expressing excitement to work with her co-star in the upcoming movie.
Dick Johnson is Dead,
Lingua Franca,
Small Axe, catch up with them as soon as you can.
But did you miss anything good by staying away from theaters? Actually, yes. Of the pandemic-era box office champs (or “champs”)
Tenet is pretty great,
Honest Thief is a perfectly solid Liam Neeson thriller, and
Come Play is a decent-enough scary movie (think of it as the PG-13 horror equivalent of a Liam Neeson thriller). Other titles like the Tom Hanks western
News of the World and the acclaimed horror film
Relic at least got some attention, but a number of good films were virtually ignored. Here are six you might have missed.
