My review of #Meadowlarks: "Fueled by terrific performances, Meadowlarks is an emotional look at the devastating personal effects that came as a result of the Sixties Scoop, but is a hopeful, heartfelt movie, that suggests the fabric of family can be mended no matter how frayed.”

My review of #Zootopia2: “A mishmash of puns, old-school movie references and action delivered at a supersonic pace, Zootopia 2 threatens to careen out of control but strays on track to deliver a family friendly crime caper with plenty of laughs and heart.” Read the review here:

My review of #Hamnet: “Intimate and raw, Hamnet is an open wound; a profound portrait of heartache that is as uncompromising as it is emotionally involving in its depiction of a mother’s loss of a child.” Read the full review here: https://t.co/OqUbOyNUpC

My review of #WickedForGood: "Wicked: For Good is a heart wrenching conclusion to the story, powered by show stopping performances from Cynthia Erivo and Ariana Grande, emotional depth and big booming Broadway show tunes about friendship, identity, and sacrifice." Read the review

My review of #JayKelly: "Jay Kelly” is not a Hollywood noir; it’s a Hollywood Melancholy. It’s slightly overlong, but in its exploration of what is important in life, and not just the life of a movie star, but all lives, it expertly rides the line between humor and heartbreak."
