Luv Ya, Bum! is, by all accounts, a standard documentary, including footage of the Oilers back then and copious interviews with people who knew him...that made me want to put down my Terrible Towel and pick up a powder blue pom pom. https://t.co/iTlulcmJ41

When I went into Wicked, I was a total skeptic, and the film won me over. This year, I went to Jon M. Chu’s Wicked: For Good with much higher expectations and found it to be yet another delightful trip to Oz, if not quite as strong as part one. https://t.co/xqzzxPDI9J

TRAIN DREAMS is a beautiful film, both visually and thematically, and choosing to engage with it completely is a worthwhile endeavor. @netflix

I went into Wicked expecting to hate it and ended up loving it. I went into For Good with far more optimism and had a lovely time. Had some pacing issues and the new songs felt really superfluous, but it felt like a Movie Event, and I am always here for that. #WickedForGood

Finally had a chance to see TRAIN DREAMS. This movie is what we should show to describe non-toxic masculinity. This is an immediate favorite of the year for me. Truly beautiful -- melancholic, get hopeful. You're going to want to turn off your phone when you watch this.

If you are prepared for a del Toro movie that honors the original while putting his spin on the way that we perceive the monster (and at least one ripped-off jaw), FRANKENSTEIN can take you on a journey that will stick with you for a long time. https://t.co/eYHfzq9shW

More than anything, CHRISTY feels safe...What Martin has overcome is astounding, and as a West Virginian, I’m thrilled that she is having it told on the big screen. I only wish this movie could have been as bold as she is. https://t.co/1HzRLZert0

This movie is far more hagiography than biography....but John Candy: I Like Me proves beyond a shadow of a doubt that he was surrounded by people who loved him, and there is a lot of value in that. https://t.co/WOfsTe47U3

DIE MY LOVE is so broad in the way that it can be interpreted, it can read more as a “b*tches be crazy” film than a deep look at the mental health struggles of a woman with PPD. Full review below. https://t.co/lku1q3rHrQ
